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