      Capo 1



INTRO  Am G F Am


      
VERSE
          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                                                  Am
More a pup than a wolf, with the 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                                      Am
So the Lord Frey demanded a bridegroom as compromise




CHORUS
        F       C
And the timbers groaned

      G           Am
River wind softly moaned,

         F                         G
“Oh, the King in the North doesn't know

                     Am
How a red wedding goes.”



Am



VERSE
          Am
Well, the feasting was plenty and the singing in tune

        G
And the Stark wolves, they howled ‘neath their northern moon

   F                                                      Am
So loud were their cries that the 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

         F                                 Am
In her skin and bones growled a creature of doubt




CHORUS
         F      C
And the timbers groaned

      G           Am
River wind softly moaned,

         F                             G
“Oh, the King in the North soon will know

                   Am
How a red wedding goes.”



Am



VERSE
            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                                                 Am
But he’d taken their word, and to break it meant no right to life




CHORUS
         F       C
And the timbers groaned

      G           Am
River wind softly moaned,

         F                            G
“Oh, the King in the North, now he knows

                    Am
How a red wedding goes.”



Am



VERSE
     Am 
Lord Bolton approached; with a thrust to Robb’s heart

   G  
He gave him the Lannister Lions’ regards

        F                                                       Am
And the king’s mother wept, for his 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                                                      Am
The North will remember, she thought, and they’ll have all your skins





CHORUS
         F       C
And the timbers groaned

        G          Am
Now the wolves lie below

        F                          G
Oh, the King in the North, if he’d 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.
