Tale of the Tongues (The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim) with Chords | Cover by Gustavo Steiner

Описание: Here's Tale of the Tongues, from The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. It's been really fun to learn songs from Skyrim, and to try to decide on which melody to use, since each of the bards in the game sings it a bit differently. Thank you so much to Roxane Genot for suggesting this song. It was so much fun to learn and record it! 😀

Thank you to everyone who has been sending suggestions! It's been so nice to see what you'd like me to cover, and it has helped me a lot when deciding what to record next. Please keep the requests coming!

I hope you enjoy the song 🙂

TALE OF THE TONGUES
(capo on the 4th fret)

Am G Dm Am | Am G Dm Am

Am G Dm Am
Alduin's wings, they did darken the sky.
Am G Dm Am
His roar fury's fire and his scales sharpened scythes.
Am G Dm Am
Men ran and they cowered and they fought and they died.
Am G Dm Am
They burned and they bled as they issued their cries.

Am G Dm Am

Am G Dm Am
We need saviors to free us from Alduin's rage.
Am G Dm Am
Heroes on the field of this new war to wage.
Am G Dm Am
And if Alduin wins, man is gone from this world.
C F Am G
Lost in the shadow of the black wings unfurled.

C G Dm Am
But then came the Tongues on that terrible day.
C G F Am
Steadfast as winter, they entered the fray.
C G F Am
And all heard the music of Alduin's doom.
C F G D
The sweet song of Skyrim, sky-shattering Thu'um.

F G Dm Am
And so the Tongues freed us from Alduin's rage.
F G Am C
Gave the gift of the Voice, ushered in a new age.
F G Am D
If Alduin is eternal, then eternity's done.
F Am G Am
For his story is over and the dragons are gone.
