Durin's Song

	  		Am      C 
Mmm Mmm mmm 
    G 
Mmm mmm 
        Am 
Mmm mmm mmm mmm 
    Am 
Mmm mmm 

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

     Am        G         C        F 
The world was fair, the mountains tall 
   Dm     G     Em       Am 
In Elder Days before the fall 
   Am     G               Dm 
Of mighty kings in Nargothrond 
         C        F     G 
And Gondolin, who now beyond 
    Am      F         G       C 
The Western Seas have passed away 
    F         G       Em      Am 
The world was fair in Durin's Day 

  Am      F      C      G 
A king he was on carven throne 
   Am   G          F        G 
In many-pillared halls of stone 
     Am     F        C      Am 
With golden roof and silver floor 
    F        C     F        G 
And runes of power upon the door 
    Am       F       C        G 
The light of sun and star and moon 
   Dm      F         Am       G 
In shining lamps of crystal hewn 
  Am         G        C        F 
Undimmed by cloud or shade of night 
      F         G    Em       Am 
There shone for ever fair and bright 

      Am     F      C     G 
There hammer on the anvil smote 
      Am     F          C      G 
There chisel clove, and graver wrote 
      Am         F          C         Am 
There forged was blade, and bound was hilt 
    F      C          Am    G 
The delver mined, the mason built 
      Am     F          C    G 
There beryl, pearl, and opal pale 
    Dm    F            Am      G 
And metal wrought like fishes' mail 
Am           G        C       F 
Buckler and corslet, axe and sword 
    Dm      G           Em      Am 
And shining spears were laid in hoard 

F   G 
Aah Aah 

  Am       C         Dm      Em 
Unwearied then were Durin's folk 
  Am        C         F  C   G 
Beneath the mountains music woke 
    Am      G           C         F 
The harpers harped, the minstrels sang 
    F      G         Em       Am 
And at the gates the trumpets rang 

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