[Verse]
Am F
Gil-galad was an Elven-king.
G Em
Of him the harpers sadly sing;
Am G
the last whose realm was fair and free
F G Am
between the Mountains and the Sea.
Am Em
His sword was long, his lance was keen.
C Em
His shining helm afar was seen;
F C
the countless stars of heaven's field
G F
were mirrored in his silver shield.
[Chorus]
Am Em
But long ago he rode away,
Am Em
and where he dwelleth none can say;
Am G
for into darkness fell his star
F E
in Mordor where the shadows are.
Am G
But long ago he rode away,
Em F
and where he dwelleth none can say;
Am G
for into darkness fell his star
F Am
in Mordor where the shadows are.
