Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Ab5                Gb5     B5
Down from the glen came the  marching men
Ab5                  B5    Gb5
   With their shields  and their swords
Ab5                  Gb5       B5
   To fight the fight   they believed to be right
Ab5          Gb5     Eb5
   Overthrow the overlords

[Verse 2]
Ab5           Gb5           B5
   To the town   where there  was plenty
Ab5                 B5
   They brought plunder,
       Gb5
swords and flame
Ab5                       Gb5       B5
   When they left the town   was empty
Ab5                         Gb5   Eb5
   And children would never play again

[Interlude]

[Verse 3]
Ab5                 Gb5  B5
   From their graves   I heard the fallen
Ab5          B5     Gb5
   Above the battle cry
Ab5               Gb5         B5
   By that bridge near the border
Ab5                    Gb5      Eb5
   There were many more   to die

[Verse 4]
Ab5            Gb5      B5
   Then onward over the mountain
Ab5            B5          Gb5
   And outward towards the sea
Ab5          Gb5      B5
   They come to claim the Emerald
Ab5                Gb5       Eb5
   Without it they could not leave
