[Intro]
Am  G  G Am G Am  Fm  G  G  Am G Am

[Verse 1]
    Am      G      G
The secrets of the wind
    Am           G   Am
Are whispered to the leaves
    Fm      G      G
The song of hidden creeks
       Am         G    Am
In the bronzing autumn light

[Verse 2]
Am    G     G
Elven dance 
Am         G Am
In the twi-i-light
    Fm             G   G
The riddles of the sea
        Am        G   Am
Raise a murmur to the shore

[Verse 3]
Am G  G 
O, mermaid,
Am  G  Am
Answer me!
Fm              G  G
Where's now the hero
       Am           G  Am
Did he stand or did he fall?

[Verse 4]
Am                     C D       
Rolling thunder in the distance
  Am    C              D
A heavy rain begins to pour
  Am           C         D
I welcome the chariot of Thor
    Am           C        D
The wrath of the heavens above

[Verse 5]
Am              C        D
Full of pride I raise my sword
    Am          C         D
The dying sound of battle horns
    Am              C      D
The screams subside on the field
    Am              C
The creek I knew so long ago
    D                Am
Now red it foams and rolls

[Chorus]
Am      Bm      Am
I yearn for the tide
Am        C     Am
When long ships arrive
Am             Bm    Am
Underneath the amber sky
Am             D      E
Wherein Odin's ravens fly

[Chorus]
Am      Bm      Am
I yearn for the tide
Am        C     Am
When long ships arrive
Am             Bm    Am
Underneath the amber sky
Am             D      E
Wherein Odin's ravens fly
