  Dm      | C      | Bb      | Gm     F C |   (x2)



VERSE 1



    Dm               C   Bb          Gm      F C

  A day's light told me, of my son's fate

      Dm             C    Bb         Gm      F C

  the sun showed the way, grim and severe

        Dm         C       Bb        Gm      F C

  pulled under the raging, waters my child

  Dm          C         Bb          Gm     F C

  sank in the drowning, currents my son,





BRIDGE, w/ *Riff 1



   Dm   C  Bb   Gm  | Dm   C  Bb   Gm  

My Son.....





VERSE 2



    Dm               C         Bb           Gm    F C

  My strength is not enough, my powers failed me

    Dm               C       Bb               Gm    F C

  I need the heavens help, I ask for thunder's force

    Dm              C           Bb           Gm    F C

  I plead for you oh lightning, forge an iron tool

    Dm            C           Bb          Gm    F C

  a magic rake of dragging, a river for my son





BRIDGE, w/ *Riff 1



   Dm    C   Bb    Gm

My Son...





   CHORUS 

    

   Bb        Gm              Dm

      God of fire bring your light

                C            Bb

      forger of sun, help me now

                Gm               Dm

      Guardian of the shore will sleep,

              C

      In your warmth..

      

   Bb          Gm             Dm  

      Lull the folk of cold water,

                 C               Bb

      banish the serpents of the dark.

             Gm            Dm

      To the river, let me go

          C            Bb

      and fetch my son away

VERSE III



    Dm           C     Bb              Gm    F C

  A rake made of iron, from the Gods of skies

      Dm               C     Bb         Gm    F C

  the spirit of bright days, sent me the sun

  Dm             C      Bb                Gm    F C

  Cold troops of Tuoni, cannot stand in my way

    Dm              C     Bb                Gm    F C

  untouched I shall walk by the river of the night
