_ Through _ [E] Rohan, over [A]
fen [B] and field, [E] where [D] the long [B] grass _ grows,
the _ west wind [A] comes _ [B] walking, _ [A] and about the walls [B] it _ goes.
[C] What news from the west, [Em] o wandering wind, [A] do you bring to me _ tonight? _
_ [B] Have you seen [E] _ [D] Boro near [B] the tall, [D] by _ moon or by _ [E] _ _ [Em] starlight? _ _
[E] _ _ [Em] _ [E] I saw [Em] him ride over [D] seven [E] _ streams, [Em] over water [D] _ [E] white and grey.
[Em] _
_ I saw him walk [D] in empty [E] lands until [D] he passed [E] away.
[Em] _ _ [C] Into the _ [E] shadows of [Em] the north [D] I saw him there [Am]
no _ more.
[E] The [Em] north wind may [D] have [Em] heard the horn [D] of the son of _ [E] Denethor.
_ [Em] _
_ [E] O _ [Em] _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ Boromir, [E] from the _ [Em] high walls [D] _ westward I looked [Am] _
afar,
_ [E] but you [Em] came not from [D] the [Em] empty lands [D]
where _ no [E] men are.
[Em] _
_ _ _ _ _ From the mouths of the sea [D] the south [C] wind flies, from [Am] the sand [B] hills and [C] the _ [D] stones.
[Em] The wailing _ _ of [D] the [C] gulls it bears, [Am] and at [D] the [Em] gate it moans.
_ [C] What news from the south, [Em] o _ sighing [D] wind, do you bring to me [C] at _ eve?
[Am] Where now is _ [Em] _ Boromir the fair?
[D] He tarries and [Em] I _ grieve. _ _ _ _ _
_ Ask not of me [D] where he doth [C] dwell, [Am] so many [B] _
bones [C] there [D] lie.
On [Em] the white shores [D] and the _ [C] dark shores, [Am] under [D] the _ [Em] stormy sky.
_ [C] So many have passed [Em] down _ _ undoing [D] to find the flowing [C] _ sea. _
_ [Am] Ask of the north [Em] wind, news of them the [D] north wind sends [Em] to me. _ _ _
_ _ _ [C] O _ _ _ Boromir, [Em] beyond the gate [D] the _ seaward road [C] runs _ _ south,
[Am] but you came not with [Em] the wailing gulls [D] from the grey [Em] seas' mouth. _ _ _
_ _ _ From the gate [G] of the kings [D] the north [Em] wind rides [Am] and past the roaring [C] _ _ [D] falls,
and [Em] clear [G] and cold [D] _
about [Em] the tower its [D] loud _ horn [Em] calls.
_ What [C]
news from the north, [Em] o mighty _ wind, do [D] you bring to me [C]
today?
_ _ [Am] What news of _ _ [Em] Boromir the bold?
[D] For he is _ [Em] long _ away.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Nithamon [G] hen [D] I heard [Em] his cry, [Am] the many [Em] _ foes [C] he fought.
[D] _ [Em] His cloven [G]
shield, his [D] broken [Em] _ sword, [C]
they to [D] the [Em] water brought. _ _
His [C] hat so proud, [Em] his face so fair, [D] his limbs they laid [C] to _ rest.
[Am] And _ Rorah's golden, [Em] _ _ Rorah's false, [D] bore him upon [Em] its _ breast. _ _ _ _ _
O [C] _ _ _ Boromir, [Em] the tower of God, [D] shall ever _ _ [Am] northward _ gaze,
[C] to _ Rorah's [E] golden, _ [Em] Rorah's false, [D] until the end [E] of _ [Em] days. _ _ _ _
