_ _ _ They _ [A] were going to [E] bury a [F#m] king's son, _ [Bm] _
_ [F#m] _ [E] who was [A] sleeping [E] so quietly in [F#m] his bed.
_ _ [B] _ [A]
To [G#m] the [E] grave [C#] came first [F#m] from [G#m] south [A] and [B] north, [F#] but down in the [E] valley [D#m] lay
the [C#m] old mother _ on her [F#] stomach, with her head in the [B] hanger. _ _
_ _ _ She liked [G#] her king, _ [C#] she loved [F#m] her country, _ but the heart [Am] said stop,
when [E] she went _ [B] _ [E] after [A] the water, and [E] _ _ _ [F#m] no _ _ [G#m] _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ [F#m] one _ _ saw.
[B] _ _ [F#m] _ _ _
_ _ _ [B] _ [E] They _ [A]
were going to [E] bury _ [F#m] a king's son, _
[B] _ [F#m] _ [E] who went [A] [E] away to Trost for all the [F#m] plagues.
_ _ [B] _ _ [F#m]
[G#m] In the church [C#] sat princes [F#m] and [G#m] sang [A] in [B] chorus, [F#m] but the wife [E] lay in the grass, _ _ [D#] _ _ [C#m] without words.
_ Who had [F#] a softer [E] [B] bed? _ _ _ _
From the fjord [G#] came the wind, _ so [C#] northern [F#m] and cold, _
but around [F#] her _ [E] grew the [B] little _ [E] king, [A] _ _ [E] _
and _ [F#m] there [E] _ was [G#m] _ [G] no _ [F#m] one who _ [B] saw.
_ [F#m] _ _ _ _
_ _ [B] _ [E] They _ [A] [E] were going to bury [F#m] a king's son, _ [B] _
[E] and the [A] people _ [E] stood close by.
[F#m] _ _ _ [B] _ _ [F#m] _
[G#m] The coffin [C#] was shown, [F#m] _
and [E] the coffin left, [B] _ but down in the [E] valley stood [D#] a cow _ [C#m] in the fjord,
_ [F#] and she smelled and missed [B] the cow. _ _ _ _
_ _ She [G#m] heard it, [Bm] _
but she [F#] was not [C#] so [F#m] pleased,
with her hand [F#] in her boot and [E] her [B] head _ [E] _ [A] bent. _ _
[E] But _ _ [F#m] there _ [G#m] was _ [G] no _ _ [F#m] _
one who _ _ [B] saw.
[F#m] _ _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ They _ [A] _
were going to [E] bury _ a king's son, [B] _ _ [F#m] _ _ [E] and the camera was pointed at [F#m] the priest, _ _ _
[Bm] _ _ [A] who [G#m] said [E] _
[C#] a [F#m] forever _ [G#m] last [A] word.
[B] _ [F#m] But the old [E] mother lay _ _ [D#] in the same [C#m] fjord,
_ and [F#] missed the _ [A]
party, [B] _ but they _ _ _ _
_ [G#m] never found [G#] her, _ _ _ [F#] _
[C#] because winter [F#m] came, _ _
and she went [F#] into the fjord, [B] where snow had turned [E] to lead.
[A] _ _ _
[E] But _ [F#m] there [E] _ was [Bm] _ no _ one [F#m] who _ _ _ [B] saw.
