[Verse 1]
[G]The[Am] world was young,[G]
[C]the mountain[F]s green
No stain yet on, [Em]the moon was [Am]seen
No words were [G]led on stream or [C]stone
when [F]Durin [G]woke and walked
[Am]alone.
He named the nameless
[F]hills and [G]dells.
[Am]He drank from [C]yet un[F]tasted [C]wel[G]ls.
He [F]stooped and looked in mirror, [G]mirror,
And [Dm]saw a [Em]crown of s[F]tars app[G]ear,
As [A]gems upon [G]a s[C]ilver t[F]hread,
Above the [Em]shadows of his [Am]head.
The world was [G]fair, the mountain[C]s tall,
[F]In elder day[G]s befor[Em]e the fal[Am]l
Of mighty [G]kings in Argoth, [Dm]Rhond,
and Gondolin,
[C]Who now behold
[G]O 'er the western[Am] sea
[F]s that p[G]assed a[C]way
The [F]world [Dm]was [F]fair in [G]Durin's [Am]day[A]
A [Am]king he [F]was on cov[C]en throne
[G]In man[C]y pil[Am]lared[G] halls o[F]f stone[G]
With [Am]golden [F]roof and [Am]silver [C]floor
And [F]rose of [C]power [Am]upon the [G]dawn
The [Am]light of [F]sun and [C]star
And [G]soothing shin[Dm]ing g[F]lance
of crys[Am]tal m[G]oon
And [Am]in i[A]t by[Am] clo[G]ud
or [C]shade of [F]night
There shone [Dm]forever [Em]fair and brigh[Am]t
Their hammer [F]on the an[C]vil smote
[G]Their chi[Am]sel, clo[F]ve, and gra[C]ve erode
[G]Their for[Am]ge was bla[F]de
and bound [Am]was [C]hilt
The [F]delver [C]mined, the [Am]mason [G]built
Their [Am]beryl, [A]pea[Am]rl, [F]and opal pal[C]e,
[G]And met[D]al wro[Dm]ught lik[F]e fishes[Am]' bale,[G]
[Am]Butler and [G]corset, [C]axe, and [F]sword,
And shin[Dm]ing [D]spears w[Em]ill they behold.[Am][F]
[G][F][C][F][Em][Asus4][A][C][F][G]
[Em]The [Am]harpers' h[F]arps the min[C]strels sang,
[F]And at the gat[G]es the[Em] trumpet[G]s rang[Am].
The world is [G]grey, the [Em]mountains old
[F]The forge is fir[G]e, it'[Em]s ashen col[Am]d
No harp [G]is grung, no [Bm]hammer [G]fold[C] s
The dark[F]ness [G]dwell[C]s in D[Em]ur i[G]n's ha[Am]lls
The shadow lies [Em]upon [Dm]his t[G]omb,
[A]Imori[Am]a in [C]Kh[F]aza d [C]-d[G]ûm
[Em]But [F]still the sunken stars app[G]ear
In [Dm]dark an[Em]d endless [F]pyram[G]id
Their [Am]light is [G]coming water [C]deep[Dm]
Till [F]the rain [G]wakes [C]again [Em]from [A]sleep
