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