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