One Of Us

C G Am F C G C 2x C G Am F Before I got to fighting (or when fighting got to me) C Am F G I looked to find examples on the field of chivalry C G Am F And I saw mighty arms much stronger than my arms could ever be C G C So I thought perhaps the field was not for me C G Am F But still I stayed and watched the fighting 'til one figure stood apart C Am F G In armour newly fashioned and a helm more pot than art C G Am F But each blow was thrown with honour and a lightness of the heart C F G C * So I took that step which soon became a start F C F C 'Cause she was not the biggest fighter nor one to raise a fuss F C G But I remember being proud that she was one of us C G Am F And we might never stand together in the shield-wall side by side C G C But because of her I lift my sword with pride C G Am F C G C 2x C G Am F She was ladylike and lively, not the type you would expect C Am F G With a braver heart than many and a slot-shot to respect C G Am F I guess she'd once decided this was where she'd like to be C G C And I thought if she could do it, why not me F C F C 'Cause she was not the biggest fighter nor one to raise a fuss F C G But I remember being proud that she was one of us C G Am F And we might never stand together in the shield-wall side by side C G C But because of her I lift my sword with pride C G Am F C G C 2x 2nd time the first G is early slower C G Am F So now as I gather armour, bits and pieces here and there C Am F G I think about examples: how you act, and what you dare C G Am F 'Cause you never know who's watching or how far that story goes C G C And where'er that Lady is I hope she knows original tempo F C F C 'Cause she was not the biggest fighter nor one to raise a fuss F C G But I remember being proud that she was one of us C G Am F And we might never stand together in the shield-wall side by side C G C But because of her I lift my sword with pride C G Am F We may never stand together in the shield-wall side by side C G C But because of her I lift my sword with pride! C G Am F C G C 2x 2nd time the first G is early *Can replace any of the C,G,C lines with this if you want it to sound livelier
