Gil-galad was an Elven-king.
   Em       C       G     D
Of him the harpers sadly sing;
     Em          D        C        Em
The last whose realm was fair and free
    C         D        Bm     Em
Between the Mountains and the Sea.

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

But long ago he rode away,
     G        C        Am       D
And where he dwelleth none can say;
    Em     D       C        Em
For into darkness fell his star
    Am     D         Bm     Em
In Mordor where the shadows are.
