[VERSE 1]
The [Am]world was [G]young, the [C]mountains [F]green
No [F]stain yet [G]on, the [Em]moon was [Am]seen
No [Am]words were [G]laid, on [Em]stream or [C]stone
When [F]Durin wo[Dm]ke, and [Em]walked [Am]alone
He named the nameless [F]hills and [G]dells
He d[Am]rank from y[C]et unt[F]asted w[G]ells
He st[F]ooped and l[Am]ooked in M[C]irror[G]mere
And s[Dm]aw a cr[C]own of st[F]ars ap[G]pear
As g[Dm]ems u[G]pon a s[C]ilver th[F]read
A[F]bove the [G]shadows [Em]of his [Am]head
The w[Am]orld was f[G]air, the m[C]ountains [F]tall,
In [Dm]Elder D[G]ays be[Em]fore the [Am]fall
Of [Am]mighty [G]kings in Nargoth[Dm]rond
And Gondo[C]lin, who [F]now be[G]yond
The [Am]Western [F]Seas have [G]passed a[C]way:
the [F]world was [G]fair in [Em]Durin's [Am]Day.
A [Am]king he [F]was on [C]carven [G]throne
In [Am]many-[G]pillared [C]halls of [G]stone
With [Am]golden [F]roof and [C]silver [Am]floor,
And [F]runes of [C]power [F]upon the [G]door.
The [Am]light of [F]sun and [C]star and [G]moon
In [Dm]shining [F]lamps of [C]crystal [G]hewn
Un[C]dimmed by [G]cloud or [C]shade of [F]night
There [F]shone for [G]ever [Em]fair and [Am]bright.
There [Am]hammer [F]on the [C]anvil [G]smote,
There [Am]chisel [F]clove, and [C]graver [G]wrote;
There [Am]forged was [F]blade, and [C]bound was [Am]hilt;
The [F]delver [C]mined, the [Am]mason [G]built.
There [Am]beryl, [F]pearl, and [C]opal [G]pale,
And [Dm]metal [F]wrought like [Am]fishes' [G]mail,
[C]Buckler and [G]corslet, [C]axe and [F]sword,
And [Dm]shining [G]spears were [Em]laid in [Am]hoard.
[F]Aaah [G]Aaah
Un[Am]wearied [F]then were [Em]Durin's [C]folk;
Be[Am]neath the [C]mountains [F]music [G]woke:
The [Am]harpers [G]harped, the [C]minstrels [F]sang,
And [F]at the [G]gates the [Em]trumpets [Am]rang.
The w[Am]orld is [G]gray, the [C]mountains [F]old
The [F]forge's [G]fire, is [Em]ashen [Am]cold
No [Am]harp is [G]wrung, no [Em]hammer [C]falls
The [F]darkness [Dm]dwells in [Em]Durin's [Am]halls
The [Am]shadow [F]lies up[Dm]on his to[Em]mb
In [Am]Mori[C]a, in [F]Khazad-[G]dûm
But s[F]till the [Am]sunken [Dm]stars [C]app[G]ear
In d[Dm]ark and [C]windless [F]Mirror[G]mere
There [Am]lies his [G]crown in [C]water d[Dm]eep
Till [F]Durin [G]wakes [Em]again from [Am]sleep
[Am]Mmmmm Mmm [C]mmm
Mmmm [G]mmmm
Mmmm mmm [Am]mmm mmm
Mmmm [Am]mmmmmmmmmm
