C G F Am [Verse]
Am C G Sigurd was an Odin man, the last of Pagan Kind
D for churchmen ruled the country
Am G side, and all men they could find.
C F But Sigurd prayed to Odin God with
G E heart and soul and mind
C G in hopes that he would reach
F Am Valhalla.
C G F Am
Am C G Sigurd died in battle crying Odin to the last
D beyond the reach of churchmen’s
Am G Heaven his soul speeded past
C F But when he reached the Bifrost
G bridge, he found the gates barred
E fast
C G F Am Alas, no entry to Valhalla
C G F Am
Am C Odin’s voice called to him then,
G “The gate I’ll not unbar!
D For we are under siege, with
Am G churchmen’s Heaven we’re at war
C F Yet I shall keep my pledge to you,
G E though you must wander far
C G F Still I shall bring you to
Am Valhalla”
C G F Am
Am C The Winds of time took Sigurd then
G and whipped him down the years,
D They burned away his memories of
Am G love, and hope, and fears
C F And left him as a new born babe
G E whose foremost cryin’ tears
C G F Am were for lost promise of Valhalla
C G F Am
Am C This age and name fit ill on him,
G he grew to man’s estate

D a thoughtful, bookish, lonely lad
Am G who felt betrayed by fate
C F who dreamed, and read, and of’t
G E regretted he was born too late
C G F Am for the Age of Odin and Valhalla
C G F Am
Am C Then he came upon Anachronists who
G kept the ancient skills
D Gladly did he join with them and
Am G practiced with a will
C F For he felt an old hope stirring
G E as he persisted still
C G F Am a long step closer to Valhalla
C G F Am
Am C He called himself Lord Sigurd now,
G he dressed in Black Bear skin
D He hastened through his duties to
Am G his mundane work and kin
C F For in the weekend combat he could
G E feel the veil wear thin
C G ‘til it seemed he could almost
F Am reach Valhalla
C G F Am
Am C In time he won a Baron’s rank, the
G folk bowed down before
D At length a Herald rose and said
Am G “Milord, you could do more.
C F Pray bring your skills with us
G E this year out to the Eastern War
C G It’s the next best thing to Old
F Am Valhalla!”
C G F Am
Am C So Sigurd went to war that year
G and stared at what he found
D The ancient garbed and armored
Am G folk, the clanging battleground
C F The market place, the mead halls,
G E and the campsites sprawling ‘round
C G and he felt time shift him to
F Am Valhalla
C G F Am
Am C For look! The warriors battled
G there so merrily all day
D Am and maidens resurrected every one
G the strokes would slay
C F then at the Mead Hall they would
G E feast and sing the night away
C G aahh it fit all descriptions of
F Am Valhalla
C G F Am
Am C Twas true, it wasn’t perfect,
G there was war but twice a year
D with lesser revels once a month in
Am G Kingdoms far and near
C F and all the dreary lesser days the
G E mundane world was here
C G but it was close enough to call
F Am Valhalla
C G F Am [BRIDGE]
F G Am Be careful what paradise you deal,
C F what hope you make other dreamers
E feel
F C for if too many hear it, they will
C Dm Am struggle to draw near it
Dm and in the search they just might
E make it real
Am C G So every war and revel now go to the feasting hall
D and there you’ll find a Viking Lord
Am G named Sigurd standing tall
C F And giving thanks to Odin for the
G E pledge kept after all
C G Singing “Yo Ho Welcome to
F Am Valhalla!!”
C G F For we have made our own
Am Valhalla!!!
C G For we are the builders of
F Am Valhalla!!!
