[Verse 2]
---------------------
F#5   C#5
  One thousand men and five hundred horsemen
     F#5
Came charging down the beach
C#5
When the seaking saw this force
            F#5
He gave the order to retreat
C#5
All obeyed except one ship
   F#5
It held the king's own son
C#5
He despised the thought of flight
      F#5
And attacked on his own

   The Danish fleet had to turn around

  They charged King Erik's men

          But it was too late to save his son

  His life was already spent
B5 C#5                       A5
      The fighting continued bloody and fierce
F#5
  And the bloodshed was immense
G#5 B5 C#5                      A5
          Two thousand warriors died that day
F#5                 G#5  B5
  Most of them were Danes

[Outro]
---------------------
F#5   C#5                F#5
  The Danish king was captured
Most of his guards were dead
C#5                      F#5
   For a ransom he was released
Then his people took his head
C#5 | C#5 | F#5 | C#5 
C#5 | F#5 | F#5 | G#5 | E5 | C#5
