Am   G                              F
The world was young, the mountains green
             Em                Am
No stain yet on, the moon was seen
               Am                  C
No words were laid, on stream or stone
            G                 Am
When Durin woke, and walked alone
                       G
He named the nameless hills and dells
    Am         C            G
He drank from yet untasted wells
     F          Am         G
He stooped and looked in Mirrormere
     Dm     C        F     G
And saw a crown of stars appear
    Dm   G      C       F
As gems upon a silver thread
            Em           Am
Above the shadows of his head

[Verse 2]
     G                   C        F
The world is gray, the mountains old
                G     Em    Am
The forge's fire, is ashen cold
            G                C
No harp is wrung, no hammer falls
               G                Am
The darkness dwells in Durin's halls
            C             G
The shadow lies upon his tomb
     Am   C          G
In Moria, in Khazad-dûm
     F         Am           G
But still the sunken stars appear
    Dm        Em     F     G
In dark and windless Mirrormere
       Dm       G        C      Dm
There lies his crown in waters deep
      F    G                 Am
Till Durin wakes again from sleep
