[Verse 1]
Fm
The river brings butterfly wings
Fm
Carries shining feathers of birds
    Cm
And flowers and branches of trees
    Bb
And broken bodies maimed
Fm
In black waters, they all sank
Fm
Devoured by the depths
    Cm                  Bb
The bodies in Tuonela's stream
(Tuonela's stream)

[Chorus]
Bbm
The kings of renown
    Db           Eb
The mightiest of men
        Fm
Jumbled together with lowly slaves
    Eb
All smeared into pulp
    Bbm
The flesh of the families
    Db           Eb
The bones of the tribes
  Fn
Deprived of their trophies
   Eb
Dismembered and crushed

[Verse 2]
Fm
In a pool beneath the stream
Fm
The waters ceased to boil
     Cm
Then dulled the roar and foaming froth
Bb
Tuonela's river had calmed
Fm
By the side of the waters black
Fm
In the never-ending night
Cm
Flickered a small lantern
  Bb                 Bbm   F
A fire danced on the shore (shore)

[Chorus]
Bbm
The kings of renown
    Db           Eb
The mightiest of men
        Fm
Jumbled together with lowly slaves
    Eb
All smeared into pulp
    Bbm
The flesh of the families
    Db           Eb
The bones of the tribes

Deprived of their trophies

Dismembered and crushed

[Outro]
Gm                             Bb C
Who was he who walked the night
Dm                              C
And stirred on the stony shore?
Gm                               Bb C
And moved along those murky banks
Dm
Roamed the riverside
C
Who walked the night?
