dm dmb3 am G G7 (Gadd2)
~~Try pulling of from the dm to the dmb3 to the am
And hammering the Gadd2 on then pulling off to the G
And pulling off from the G to the G7
(listen to the song and you'll see what I'm saying)
~~as a note you'll have to use two different finger positions
to play both G hammer on/pull off parts easily.

dm dmb3 am
I was standing by the village gates
G Gadd2 G
When I first heard your name
dm dmb3 am
The King sent his men to
G G7
seize Gabriels man
(repeat Chord pattern with words)
And when Gabriel he refused
The men took both his daughters
And cut the wedding ring fingers
from their hands
Next three days I heard three times
Separate similar stories
The King was taking what was ours
for his own
Deep deep down in the pit of my chest
My fear turned to fury
When I thought about my family
in my home
F dm dm7
Good kind Rudy stood before the King
Dsus2 F(2nd) G
His mighty sword in his hand
F dm dm7
All through the valley they could hear him swing
Dsus2 F(2nd) G
and a joyful cheer filled the land
F G dm
nobody's ever gonna treat us like that again
Late that night all the men in the village
Gathered in a clearing in the forest and
We elected King Rudy to lead us now
He decided right away
That the King must die
Heads bent forward as he told us how
We split up in two large groups
and headed for the castle on the hill
My group stormed he front all the guards came running
Rudy's group snuck up from the back and
Laid their ladders up against the castle wall
Nobody ever saw them coming
Then finish with the chorus.
Corrections are welcome, hope you enjoy.
