[Refrain]

    F#m
The icy winter is creeping near
A              E
   Dark skies above us
E
Biting frost is in the air
D              C#m
   Darkness surrounds us
    F#m
The cold, piercing autumn breeze
A                  E
Fills the longship sail
E
Soon the lakes and seas will freeze
    D                 C#m
And snow will lay its veil


[Verse 1]

Bm                         A
Many years we've been away
C#m
    The oceans we have roamed
Bm                                      A
Now the north star guides us on our way
C#m
    As we are headed home

[Verse 2]

    Bm
The many hardships we've endured
     A
Have brought us rich reward
G
Now the north star guides us home
     F#m
With cargo full of gold

[Verse 3]

Bm
Many friends died on the way
     A
Only few of us survived
    G
But I would gladly take their place
   F#m
In Oden's hall up high

Soon the lakes and seas will freeze
    A                 E
And snow will lay its veil
    E
And we will long for the summer breeze
     D      C#m     F#m
When we can set our sails
