[Verse 1]
Dm                                  G
I was standing by the village gates when I first heard the news
Dm                                           G
The king had sent his men to seize Gabriel’s land
Dm                           G
And when Gabriel he refused, the men took both his daughters
Dm                                          G
And cut the wedding ring fingers from their hands
Dm                                      G
The next three days I heard three times separate similar stories
Dm                                        G
The king was taking what was ours for his own
Dm                                     G
Deep, deep down in the pit of my chest my fear turned to fury
Dm                                    G    C/G
When I thought about my family and my home


[Chorus 1]
F                    Bb         A
Good kind Rudy stood before the king
Bb         A            Gm   C
His mighty sword in his hand
F                               Bb        A
All through the valley we could hear him swing
Bb           A                Gm
And a joyful cheer filled the land
C
Nobody’s ever gonna treat us like that again

[Verse 2]
Dm                                         G
Late that night all the men in the village gathered in a clearing in the forest
Dm                                  G
And we elected Good Rudy to lead us now
Dm                    G
He decided right away that the king must die
Dm                                    G
Every head bent forward as he told us how
Dm                                    G
We split up into two large groups and headed for the castle on the hill
Dm                                         G
My group stormed the front, all the guards came running
Dm                                                 G
Rudy’s group snuck up from the back and laid their ladders up against the castle walls
Dm                   G      C/G
Nobody ever saw them coming


[Chorus 2]
F                    Bb         A
Good kind Rudy stood before the king
Bb          A           Gm   C
His mighty sword in his hand
F                               Bb        A
All through the valley we could hear him swing
Bb             A               Gm  C
And a joyful cheer filled the land


[Outro]
F                    Bb         A
Good kind Rudy stood before the king
Bb          A           Gm    C
His mighty sword in his haaaaaand
F                               Bb        A
All through the valley we could hear him swing
Bb           A       Gm
And a joyful cheer filled the land
C                                            Dm*
Nobody’s ever gonna treat us like that again.
