Am 
High upon the Southern Downs, 
        E 
Through field and over stile, 
  Am 
I walked to old Thundersbarrow Hill, 
        E 
Where I stopped to rest a while, 
       F 
Then I saw a mighty hammer, 
       Am 
With a dragon in full sail, 
       F                             E 
That’s when I heard a voice tell its tale. 



Am 
I will tell you of my Father, 
E 
Fury was his name. 
  Am 
A God of War with a poet’s tongue, 
   E 
To him they were the same. 
      F 
He created all of Midgard, 
      Am 
Every field and hill and vale, 
       F                              E 
In the oceans a great serpent ate its tail. 


     Am 
Nine days to hang on Yggdrasil, 
     Fmaj7 
Nine nights upon the tree, 
   G 
To learn the wisdom of the Runes, 
      Am 
While Thought and Memory, 
    Am 
Fly high over Midgard, 
   Fmaj7 
My stories for to tell, 
   G 
To those who stop to rest a while, 
   Am 
On Thundersbarrow Hill. 



Am 
I will tell you of the sacred well, 
          E 
Neath the roots of Yggdrasil, 
   Am 
My Father asked of Great Mimir, 
   E 
If he could drink his fill, 
F 
Blinded to all wisdom, 
    Am 
The gifts of prophecy, 
   F 
He gave his eye, 
                    E 
So he could clearly see. 


     Am 
Nine days to hang on Yggdrasil, 
     Fmaj7 
Nine nights upon the tree, 
   G 
To learn the wisdom of the Runes, 
      Am 
While Thought and Memory, 
    Am 
Fly high over Midgard, 
   Fmaj7 
My stories for to tell, 
   G 
To those who stop to rest a while, 
   Am 
On Thundersbarrow Hill. 



  Am 
I felt the breath of Summer, 
  E 
I heard the Skylark’s song, 
        Am 
And the curve of old Thundersbarrow Hill, 
     E 
That I had slept upon. 
     F 
This land remembers stories, 
   Am 
Of all who came before, 
    F 
And it shall tell these tales, 
        E 
For evermore.

   Am 
On Thundersbarrow Hill.
