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