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