The Fall of Gil-Galad 


d                       B
Gil-galad was an elven-king.
C                       a
Of him the harpers sadly sing:
B                               C
The last whose realm was fair and free
                B       C      d
Between the mountains and the sea.

d                               a
His sword was long, his lance was keen,
B                       a
His shining helm afar was seen;
B                               a
The countless stars of heaven's field
C                               B
Were mirrored in his silver shield.

d                       C
But long ago he rode away,
B                               a
And where he dwelleth none can say;
B                       C
For into darkness fell his star
B                               a
In Mordor where the shadows are.


d                       C
But long ago he rode away,
B                               a
And where he dwelleth none can say;
B                       C
For into darkness fell his star
        B       C      d
In Mordor where the shadows are.
