F C Oh, there once was a hero named Ragnar the Red D G Who came riding to Whiterun from ole Rorikstead F C And the braggart did swagger and brandish his blade D G As he told of bold battles and gold he had made F C But then he went quiet, did Ragnar the Red D G When he met the shield-maiden Matilda, who said; F C "Oh, you talk and you lie and you drink all our mead D G Now I think it's high time that you lie down and bleed!" F C And so then came clashing and slashing of steel D G As the brave lass Matilda charged in, full of zeal C G And the braggart named Ragnar was boastful no more- C F When his ugly red head rolled around on the floor!
