                                        Play this 3 times, the 4th time the drums kick in.

If using one guitar, switch to the power chords from the intro as Ian is singing "White, White white.."
If using two, just double it.

First verse:
For 1 guitar, play the power chords as heard in the song, 
With 2, one can play the power while 1 plays the full (open) chords.
D                           F     E
The snow is crystal,          the fire is cold,
C                   E          D
I sit back, watch the sun turn to gold.
D                     F   E
In the morning,          love is healing,
C               E           D
warms the frost deep in my bones.
And then mama said white,

Chorus 
(same chords but doubled. 1 electric  1 acoustic )

White white
it's shining shining bright
white, white, shining 
shining brightly. 

Back to that cool little riff from the 0:40 mark...

Verse 2:

The hunter sits on a pure white stallion,
a hawk in flight, a bow in his hand,
A deer approaches, at the edge of the forest,
the arrow flies, blood on the snow...
