Ceanntighern’s Song

Dm      C            Dm                          C
Go my lord and fight as I know you can
       Dm        C                    Dm       C
For lady and kingdom you can not fail
       Dm    C             Dm                             C
The foe is strong so you must be stronger still
Dm                 C                         Dm  C          Dm    C  Dm   C
Feel my song feed your power, you shall prevail

   Dm                 C      Dm                   C
I recall the first day I looked in your eyes 
        Dm        C              Dm        C
And ever my heart was beguiled
Dm         C               Dm        C
I was so lonely and you so alone
Dm       C                  Dm         C      Dm   C
Never again, dragonchild

Dm              C                              Dm      C   Dm 
Honor shall be your mantle and shield
Dm               C                            Dm      C  Dm  C  
Justice shall rule the sword you wield

   Dm                C                   Dm            C
I still bless the day you took me as your wife 
              Dm             C               Dm        C
And the reason you give to my rhyme
        Dm              C               Dm                   C
You are my foundation and home, my dear heart
      Dm          C        Dm      C    Dm   C
Be so till the end of time

Dm          C                                 Dm    C   Dm
Chivalry stays and guides your hand
Dm                 C                            Dm     C    Dm   C
Prowess well honed at your command

   Dm                 C         Dm              C
I recall the first night I lay by your side 
       Dm         C           Dm        C
Our life long union begun
       Dm                    C                Dm            C
My champion most loyal, my beloved, my friend
Dm        C              Dm     C     Dm    C
Ever be so, dragonson 

Dm                            C                             Dm  C
Truth well aimed directs your attack
Dm                             C                           Dm   C
Wit dear friend to guard your back

Dm      C            Dm                          C
Go my lord and fight as I know you can
       Dm        C                    Dm       C
For lady and kingdom you can not fail
       Dm    C             Dm                             C
The foe is strong so you must be stronger still
Dm                 C                         Dm  C          Dm    C  Dm   C
Feel my song feed your power, you shall prevail

For my lord, Ceanntighern
