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