Signy Mallory
Words by Mercedes Lackey, music by Leslie Fish


Chorus:
	F             Dm      C                 Am
	Captain Signy Mallory has no soul, they say:
	    Dm             C            Am              Dm
	The captain of the Norway has a heart of frozen clay.
	     F                    C           G                       A
	That on the bridge of the Norway, she throws men's lives like dice.
	Dm            C            G        C        Dm
	Captain Signy Mallory, her eyes are fire and ice.

      Dm             A         Dm               A
She's captain of the Norway, a thorn in Union's side,
   F              C             Am                 Dm
Protector of Pell Station and a source of grudging pride.
Dm           C               G              A
Left the Mazianni with their price upon her head,
    F                   C                 G       C        Dm
And stayed to guard the Stations that the Company left for dead.

     Dm              A               Dm                 A
They say she doesn't think about the lives that she has lost.
     F               C                  Am                Dm
They say when Norway goes to fight, she doesn't count the cost;
     Dm                   C                G                A
That once she's planned a course she never reckons wrong or right--
   F                  C             G      C        Dm
So why does she stare sleeplessly into the dark all night?

     Dm               A             Dm              A
They say for Norway's captain, discipline's an iron whip;
     F                  C                   Am             Dm
It's worth your life to break her rules, in dock or on the ship;
     Dm                 C            G                   A
That no one sane serves under her command, but if that's so,
     F                 C                  G      C    Dm
Then why do her troops cheer her when she passes them below?

	F             Dm      C                 Am
	Captain Signy Mallory has no soul, they say:
	    Dm             C            Am              Dm
	The captain of the Norway has a heart of frozen clay.
	     F                    C           G                       A
	That on the bridge of the Norway, she throws men's lives like dice.
	Dm            C            G        C        Dm
	Captain Signy Mallory, her eyes are fire and ice.

     Dm              A             Dm            A
They say the captain has no crude emotions to control,
     F              C              Am          Dm
Just iron fist, and iron will, and iron-banded soul.
     Dm               C               G             A
They say she shows no mercy, and they say she never can--
   F             C            G          C     Dm
So why is Norway refuge for a burned-out Union man?

      Dm             A         Dm               A
She's captain of the Norway, a thorn in Union's side.
    F        C                   Am                Dm
The Mazianni fear her. She's the heart of Norway's pride.
    Dm           C                G               A
And Stationer or Merchanter, from Fargone back to Pell,
         F           C                  G      C      Dm
Know for Mallory all Norway would fight demons out of Hell.

	F             Dm      C                 Am
	Captain Signy Mallory has no soul, they say:
	    Dm             C            Am              Dm
	The captain of the Norway has a heart of frozen clay.
	     F                    C           G                       A
	That on the bridge of the Norway, she throws men's lives like dice.
	Dm            C            G        C        Dm
	Captain Signy Mallory, her eyes are fire and ice.
