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