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