Alduin's wings, they did darken the sky.
    [ch]Em[/ch]          [ch]D[/ch]            [ch]C[/ch]                [ch]Em[/ch]
His roar fury's fire and his scales sharpened scythes.
    [ch]Em[/ch]           [ch]D[/ch]                [ch]Am[/ch]              [ch]Em[/ch]
Men ran and they cowered and they fought and they died.
     [ch]Em[/ch]              [ch]D[/ch]            [ch]Am[/ch]           [ch]Em[/ch]
They burned and they bled as they issued their cries.

          [ch]Em[/ch]       [ch]D[/ch]            [ch]Am[/ch]       [ch]Em[/ch]
We need saviors to free us from Alduin's rage.
[ch]Em[/ch]            [ch]D[/ch]             [ch]C[/ch]          [ch]Em[/ch]
Heroes on the field of this new war to wage.
       [ch]Em[/ch]      [ch]D[/ch]          [ch]Am[/ch]             [ch]Em[/ch]
And if Alduin wins man is gone from this world.
[ch]G[/ch]           [ch]C[/ch]             [ch]Em[/ch]           [ch]D[/ch]
Lost in the shadow of the black wings unfurled.


    [ch]G[/ch]             [ch]D[/ch]               [ch]C[/ch]        [ch]C[/ch]
But then came the Tongues on that terrible day.
[ch]G[/ch]            [ch]D[/ch]            [ch]C[/ch]           [ch]Em[/ch]
Steadfast as winter, they entered the fray.
    [ch]G[/ch]             [ch]D[/ch]         [ch]C[/ch]       [ch]Em[/ch]
And all heard the music of Alduin's doom.
    [ch]G[/ch]             [ch]C[/ch]           [ch]D[/ch]          [ch]A7[/ch]
The sweet song of Skyrim, sky-shattering Thu'um.


    [ch]C[/ch]              [ch]D[/ch]              [ch]Em[/ch]
And so the Tongues freed us from Alduin's rage.
         [ch]C[/ch]           [ch]D[/ch]               [ch]Em[/ch]      [ch]G[/ch]
Gave the gift of the Voice, ushered in a new Age.
   [ch]C[/ch]          [ch]D[/ch]            [ch]Em[/ch]         [ch]A7[/ch]
If Alduin is eternal, then eternity's done.
        [ch]C[/ch]        [ch]Em[/ch]           [ch]D[/ch]              [ch]Em[/ch]
For his story is over and the dragons... are gone.
