Am                F
First I know, unknown to rulers,
G             E
Or any human mind;
Am                     F
Help it is named, for help it can give
Dm              E
In hours of despair....

Am                      F
I know a third, in the thick of battle,
G              E
If my need be great,
        Am                 F
It will blunt the edges of swords and axes,
     Dm                    E
Their weapons will make no wounds.

  Am                 F
I know a ninth, when need I have
   G                      E
To shelter my ship on the flood,
    Am                 F
The wind it calms, the waves it smoothes
    Dm               E
And puts the sea to sleep.

Joy to him who understood.

Am               F
When I brethern lead to battle
  G                  E
I chant it behind my shield,
Am                 F
Unwounded they go, Unwounded they return,
Dm                       E
Unscathed wherever they are.

  Am            F
I know another, only few know,
    G            E
The names of the fallen ones.
   Am                F
About the high ones, elves and gods,
Dm              E
I can name them all.
