FIRST VERSE
F#m A
Lumberjack's looking out for trees
F#m A
choppin' days out of centuries
F#m A
But you get them on their knees
D E D
Cause they ain't so tough I heard things about 'em
F#m A
The dark sea is a careless host
F#m A
From northpole to pacific coast

Pure blood is the viking's toast

But his heart will cry if it goes without it
CHORUS

And the sirens always sing
F#m A D E
The chants from heaven

But the love that it won't bring
F#m A D
Will make hearts sever
E D
Of those who go
SECOND VERSE

The sweet call of the distant shore
F#m A
They don't know what they're wishing for
F#m A
If they knock on the devil's door

Everybody has a life to fill

And what is time but something to kill
D E D
Until it's nothing left and the night has the last laugh

They all know when it comes to you
F#m A
The lucky ride only takes a few
F#m A
why have a soul when it's yours to lose
D E D
you gotta pick your fight you got work to do
F#m A
Some say that they're running away
F#m A
From what or where now they wouldn't say
F#m A
In their minds they're never late
D E D
Cause there ain't no-one that is waiting for them

THIRD VERSE
F#m A
Pale riders in a lonely nest
F#m A
I bet the spanish have a word for this
F#m A
And a banner that they can't resist

But they're not so tough I heard things about them
F#m A
Some say that they're running away
F#m A
From what or where now they wouldn't say
