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