Random Bard: This is a local favorite and one
of the first songs I ever learned - Ragnar the Red
 
 
            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 the clashing and slashing of steel,
       Bm                         F#
As the brave lass Matilda charged in full of zeal!
 
        G                         Bm
And the braggart named Ragnar was boastful no more...
         G        A            D
When his ugly red head rolled around on the floor!
