Timbers and Wind

[Intro] Am  G  F  Am

[Parte 1]

          Am
Now there once was a time when the 
northerners sang
          G
Of a king they had crowned: more a 
boy than a man
       F                        
More a pup than a wolf, with the 
                          Am
cold of the realm in his eyes
      Am
He’d broken a vow to the lords of 
the Twins
      G
Wed a stranger, a beauty, but a 
promise there’d been
       F                   
So the Lord Frey demanded a 
                   Am
bridegroom as compromise

[Chorus]

        F       C
And the timbers groaned
      G           Am
River wind softly moaned
         F                         
“Oh, the King in the North doesn't 
G
know
                     Am
How a red wedding goes

( Am )

[Second Part]

          Am
Well, the feasting was plenty and 
the singing in tune
        G
And the Stark wolves, they howled 
‘neath their northern moon
   F                             
So loud were their cries that the 
                         Am
closing of doors was drowned out
      Am
Lady Catelyn alone had the river’s 
sharp ear
        G
Heard dancing reels turn to the 
Rains of Castamere
Continues after the ad
         F                     
In her skin and bones growled a 
            Am
creature of doubt

[Chorus]

         F      C
And the timbers groaned
      G           Am
River wind softly moaned
         F                         
“Oh, the King in the North soon 
    G
will know
                   Am
How a red wedding goes

( Am )

[Third Part]

            Am
There were arrows and daggers, and 
the touch of them burned
      G
From players to slayers in an 
instant were turned
         F
And the foreigner Queen was the 
first to fall under the knife
      Am
With two arrows in him, the King 
crawled to her side
          G
While his mother, she pleaded for 
the Lord to subside
          F                      
But he’d taken their word, and to 
                           Am
break it meant no right to life

[Chorus]

         F       C
And the timbers groaned
      G           Am
River wind softly moaned
         F                         
“Oh, the King in the North, now he 
   G
knows
                    Am
How a red wedding goes

( Am )

[Fourth Part]

     Am
Lord Bolton approached; with a 
thrust to Robb’s heart
   G
He gave him the Lannister Lions’ 
regards
        F                          
And the king’s mother wept, for his
                             Am
 last word had called her to him
          Am
There was nothing she felt cutting 
Lady Frey’s throat
         G
And she felt nothing more when they 
slashed her own

    F                       
The North will remember, she 
                               Am
thought, and they’ll have all your 
skins

[Chorus]

         F       C
And the timbers groaned
        G          Am
Now the wolves lie below
        F                          
Oh, the King in the North, if he’d 
G
known
                  Am
How a red wedding goes
        F       C
And the timbers groan
        G                 Am
But the North waits; they know
      F                         G
That one day the blood they are owed
                       Am
Will run ‘neath their soles
                  Am
Run 'neath their soles
                  Am
Run 'neath their soles
