[Verse 1]
Am F
First I know, unknown to rulers,
G E
Or any human mind;
Am F
Help it is named, for help it can give
Dm E
In hours of despair....
[Verse 2]
Am F
I know a third, in the thick of battle,
G E
If my need be great,
Am F
It will blunt the edges of swords and axes,
Dm E
Their weapons will make no wounds.
Am Am G Am (x 2)
[Verse 3]
Am F
I know a ninth, when need I have
G E
To shelter my ship on the flood,
Am F
The wind it calms, the waves it smoothes
Dm E
And puts the sea to sleep.

[Verse 4]
Am F
When I brethern lead to battle
G E
I chant it behind my shield,
Am F
Unwounded they go, Unwounded they return,
Dm E
Unscathed wherever they are.
Am Am G Am (x 2)
[Verse 5]

The names of the fallen ones.

About the high ones, elves and gods,
Dm E
I can name them all.
