The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim-"The Tale of the Tongues" acoustic cover

I haven't seen anyone do a cover of this one yet, so here's my interpretation! It's different than the original, I know, but no one said that each bard needs to be the same! :D I didn't take a lot of time learning it, as it's just for shits 'n giggles. You can hear my other songs and download an mp3 here: http://soundcloud.com/oceans-of-obsidian

No video with this one because I used my better mic and my webcam just messes up all the drivers when I have my music software open. Thanks for watching!

Lyrics with tabs: (actual song is w/a capo on 2)
-------------
Am G Dm Am
Alduin's wings they did darken the sky
His roar fury's fire and his scales sharpened scythes
Men ran and they cowered and they fought and they died

C Dm Am G
They burned and they bled as they issued their cries

Am G Dm Am
We need a savior to save us from Alduin's rage
Heroes on the field of this new war to wage
And if Alduin wins, men is gone from this world

C Dm Am G
Lost in the shadows of the black wings unfurled

Am G Dm Am
(Jen)
But then came the Tongues on that terrible day
Steadfast as winter they entered the fray
And all heard the music of Alduin's doom
The sweet song of Skyrim, sky-shattering Thu'um (I added: "Beware, beware the Dragonborn comes" )

Am G Dm Am
And so the Tongues freed us from Alduin's rage
Gave the gift of the Voice, ushered in a new age
If Alduin's eternal then eternity's done
For his story is over and the dragons are gone...

The Dark Brotherhood, The thieves guild, Companions and the Collage of Winterhold demands Ragnar the Red, Or I'll make Lars Battleborn send a deathcontract on you.

Awesome cover, just awesome!

Downloaded it, it goes straight to my mp3 ^^

@jusey1 I think so as well, but I think Cyrodil will be again the setting, since the Thalmor will probably have a bigger role and it will be changed since the war.

..... can't....breath...so awesome.....(dies)

[09marvz]

This is my favourite bards request in Skyrim and this cover is awesome. Totally amazing. Well Done.

@DarkDragonwingify *Death Stares* Skyrim is part of a Series called The Elder Scrolls..

Most likely, dragons will prolly be in the 6th Elder Scrolls. Depends on where it'll take place in. If it takes place in High Rock or Morrowind (Again) then for sure dragons will be back. Remember what Paarthurax said? "There are many Dovah out there now that are going rogue without Alduin's Lordship.." Then he conts on saying how he'll make them on his side (Which is the good side!)
