D                     A
Oh there once was a hero named Ragnar the Red
           Bm                    F#
Who came riding to Whiterun from ole Rorikstead

          G                       D
And the braggart did swagger and brandish his blade
       A                        E
As he told of bold battles and gold he had made

             F                 C
But then he went quiet, did Ragnar the Red
        Am                      E
When he met the shield-maiden Matilda who said;

          F                        C
 Oh, you talk and you lie and you drink all our mead
        Am                           E
Now I think it's high time that you lie down and bleed 

             D                  A
And so then came clashing and slashing of steel
        Bm                        F#
As the brave lass Matilda charged in full of zeal

         G                         Bm
And the bragger named Ragnar was boastful no more
          G       D            A             D
When his ugly red head rolled around on the floor!
