TTTO The Blacksmith of Brandywine by Pat and Victoria Garvey

As we matched right into Two Rivers, it was a sight to see [CFCG] A giant of a man with a hammer in hand and a people he would free [CGCFCGC] And all around him on the ground in fatal disarray, [CFCG] Lay children of light and Trollocs foul who all had passed away. [CGCFCGC] C F C G Make it one for Rand Al'thor the dragon who's reborn C G And one for the men who will not yield C F C G Make it one for the family dear I won't have time to mourn C F C G C G C And one for the Blacksmith of Emond's Field. We came from Devin Ride in haste, to save the people here [CFCG] And found two hundred suffering men, drowning in their fear. [CGCFCGC] And at their head, a wolf-like man, with golden blazing eyes [CFCG] Fought like a dog, splattered in blood, surrounded by black flies. [CGCFCGC] C F C G Make it one for Rand Al'thor the dragon who's reborn C G And one for the men who will not yield C F C G Make it one for the family dear I won't have time to mourn C F C G C G C And one for the Blacksmith of Emond's Field. In Emond's Field there lived a boy away from the dark lord's roar [CFCG] Until he and his loyal friends fled from a trolloc hoard. [CGCFCGC] But when he heard that whitecloaks bold threatened his family, [CFCG] He gathered his men to help his friends, and murder naturally. [CGCFCGC] C F C G Make it one for Rand Al'thor the dragon who's reborn C G And one for the men who will not yield C F C G Make it one for the family dear I won't have time to mourn C F C G C G C And one for the Blacksmith of Emond's Field. Through the Ways he journeyed home, but sorrow there he found, [CFCG] By whitecloak's flame his home was torched, and his family in the ground. [CGCFCGC] So the blacksmith reached for his magic sledge and he took a practice swing [CFCG] And the bowmen down at Two Rivers, they could hear those trollocs scream. [CGCFCGC] C F C G Make it one for Rand Al'thor the dragon who's reborn C G And one for the men who will not yield C F C G Make it one for the family dear I won't have time to mourn C F C G C G C And one for the Blacksmith of Emond's Field. C F C G Yes, this is one for Rand Al'thor the dragon who's reborn C G And one for the men who will not yield C F C G Make it one for the family dear I won't have time to mourn C F C G C G C And one for the Blacksmith of Emond's Field.
