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