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