Dbm             B          Abm         Dbm
We tilled Skyrim's ground, despite frozen toil.
   Dbm        B             F#m         Dbm
We tended the Kwama beneath Morrowind's soil.
   A          B         Dbm          F#
We hunted the Wamasu in Blackmarsh's glades.
   A                Ab          Dbm
We three hearts had no need for blades.


[Chorus 1]

          A             E             B             F#
Then they came from the seas, folded steal in their hands.
      A              B         F#m
They burned down our homes and ravaged our lands.
   A             B          F#
Akaviri brought nothing but bloodshed and lies,
     A             Abm                Dbm
Our families were slain... before our eyes.


[Verse 3]

     Dbm            F#m          B              Dbm
With three separate people, they shared a cruel joke.
  A              B            Dbm
A choice between death or the yoke.
    A              B           Dbm           F#
But then our three people knew what must be done,
   F#        Dbm           Ab
to end the oppression, our three became one!


[Chorus 2]

Dbm       B        F#m       E
Forged by war, the Ebonheart rose!
    A            E    B           Dbm
And drove the Akaviri back to the sea!
         A       B              Cm         Dbm
When the enemies begged for the mercy they lacked,
      A         E             B             Dbm
Three voices as one shouted, "Blood for the Pact!"

[Outro]

Dbm       B        F#m      Dbm
Forged by war, our story be told.
   A            E                Abm          Dbm
No shackles can hold us, whether moonstone or gold.
