[Verse 1]
     Am
As a young boy chasing dragons
          C               B
With your wooden sword so mighty
       Bb                                 F      G          Am
You're St. George or you're David and you always killed the beast
Am                                 C              B
Times change very quickly, and you had to grow up early
  Bb                             F      G       Am
A house in smoking ruins and the bodies at your feet
 
 
[Chorus 1]
    D          D     C#m D E            E    Eb
You die as you lived in  a flash of the blade
E    C         C      B  C  G  D/F# E
In a corner forgotten by no one
    D             D     C#m D   E           E    Eb E
You lived for the touch for the feel of the steel
C      C B   C   G D/F# E
One man  and his ho  -  nour
 
 
[Verse 2]
Dm Eb C Dm Bb C x2
    Am                            C           B
The smell of resined leather, the steely iron mask
       Bb                                F       C        Am
As you cut and thrust and parried at the fencing master's call
   Am                             C          B
He taught you all he ever knew to fear no mortal man
    Bb                                     F          G    Am
And now you'll wreak your vengeance in the screams of evil men
