D                             G           D
The Dornishman's wife was as fair as the sun,
D                                   A
and her kisses were warmer than spring.
D                                 G            D
But the Dornishman's blade was made of black steel,
      G              A       D
and its kiss was a terrible thing.


D                             G           D
The Dornishman's wife would sing as she bathed,
D                                   A
in a voice that was sweet as a peach,
D                                 G            D
But the Dornishman's blade had a song of its own,
      G              A       D
and a bite sharp and cold as a leech.


G                                C               G
As he lay on the ground with the darkness around,
G                                      D
and the taste of his blood on his tongue,
G                                 C               G
His brothers knelt by him and prayed him a prayer,
C              D             G
and he smiled and he laughed and he sung,



D                             G           D
"Brothers, oh brothers, my days here are done,
D                                   A
the Dornishman's taken my life,
D                                 G            D
But what does it matter, for all men must die,
      G              A       D
and I've tasted the Dornishman's wife!
