Song Of Durin

Bm        A          D         G 
The world was young, the mountains green 
  G         A       F#m      Bm 
No stain yet on, the moon was seen 
  Bm         A        F#m       D 
No words were laid, on stream or stone 
    G       A      F#m    Bm 
When Durin woke, and walked alone 
                     G         A 
He named the nameless hills and dells 
   Bm         D     G      A 
He drank from yet untasted wells 
    G          Bm        D    A 
He stooped and looked in Mirrormere 
    Em     D        G     A 
And saw a crown of stars appear 
   Bm   A      D       G 
As gems upon a silver thread 
G        A       F#m    Bm 
Above the shadows of his head 
    Bm        A         D        G 
The world was fair, the mountains tall 
  Em     A     F#m      Bm 
In Elder Days before the fall 
  Bm     A               Em 
Of mighty kings in Nargothrond 
        D        G     A 
And Gondolin, who now beyond 
   Bm      G         A       D 
The Western Seas have passed away 
   G         A       F#m     Bm 
The world was fair in Durin's Day 
 Bm      G      D      A 
A king he was on carven throne 
  Bm   A          G        A 
In many-pillared halls of stone 
    Bm     G        D      Bm 
With golden roof and silver floor 
   G        D     G        A 
And runes of power upon the door 
   Bm       G       D        A 
The light of sun and star and moon 
  Em      G         Bm       A 
In shining lamps of crystal hewn 
 Bm         A        D        G 
Undimmed by cloud or shade of night 
     G         A    F#m      Bm 
There shone for ever fair and bright 
     Bm     G      D     A 
There hammer on the anvil smote 
     Bm     G          D      A 
There chisel clove, and graver wrote 
     Bm         G          D         Bm 
There forged was blade, and bound was hilt 
   G      D          Bm    A 
The delver mined, the mason built 
     Bm     G          D    A 
There beryl, pearl, and opal pale 
   Em    G            Bm      A 
And metal wrought like fishes' mail 
Bm           A        D       G 
Buckler and corslet, axe and sword 
   Em      A           F#m     Bm 
And shining spears were laid in hoard 
G    A 
Aaah Aaah 
 Bm       D         Em      F#m 
Unwearied then were Durin's folk 
 Bm        D         G  D   A 
Beneath the mountains music woke 
   Bm      A           D         G 
The harpers harped, the minstrels sang 
   G      A         F#m      Bm 
And at the gates the trumpets rang 
    Bm      A         D         G 
The world is gray, the mountains old 
   G       A        F#m   Bm 
The forge's fire, is ashen cold 
  Bm      A                  D 
No harp is wrung, no hammer falls 
   G          A         F#m     Bm 
The darkness dwells in Durin's halls 
   Bm     G      Em       F#m 
The shadow lies upon his tomb 
  Bm  D     G      A 
In Moria, in Khazad-dûm 
    G        Bm     Em    D  A 
But still the sunken stars appear 
   Em      D        G     A 
In dark and windless Mirrormere 
     Bm       A        D      Em 
There lies his crown in water deep 
    G     A     F#m        Bm 
Till Durin wakes again from sleep
