Em C G D/F# Em 'As grey traces of dawn tinge the eastern sky Em The three travellers, men of Willowdale Emerge from the forest shadow Fording the River Don, they turn south, journeying Into the dark and forbidding lands of the Necromancer Even now the intensity of his dread power can be felt Weakening the body and saddening the heart Ultimately they will become empty, mindless spectres Stripped of will and soul, only Their thirst for freedom gives them hunger for vengeance' Em Silence shrouds the forest C G D/F# Em As the birds announce the dawn Em Three trav'llers ford the river C G D/F# Em And southward journey on The road is lined with peril The air is charged with fear The shadow of his nearness Weighs like iron tears Em 'Shreds of black cloud loom in overcast skies The Necromancer keeps watch with his magic prism eyes He views all his lands and is already aware of the three helpless invaders Trapped in his lair' Em Brooding in the tower Watching o'er his land Holding ev'ry creature Helplessly they stand Gaze into his prisms Knowing they are near Lead them to the dungeons Spectres numb with fear They bow defeated E B A B Enter the Champion Prince By-Tor appears to battle for freedom from chains of long years The spell has been broken the Dark Lands are bright The Wraith of the Necromancer soars Away in the night.' E B A B Stealthily attacking By-Tor slays his foe The men are free to run now From labyrinths below The Wraith of Necromancer Shadows through the sky Another land to darken With evil prism eye You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA  C  D  E  Em  F#  G  B  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
