_ [A] Well, the owner, Frodo,
got on the Corrothis pen
She gave [Bm] to him the ears of Cerberus
[D] and met her, [E] so we end
[A] But in short, the last of us
[D] let her rest below
She [Bm] then laughed at us and said we had [E] it all
_ [Bm] _ [A] After all, with her, [D] some [E] days around [A] the clock
[Bm] She swore the poor, a million
the bloke, and at the [A] dock
When every charlotte hit the [D] bar
we [A] swore we would remain and [Bm] make the
merry elven garter [A]
rise again
_ [Bm] Rise again, _ [A]
rise again
[G#m] _ [F#m] Let [D] her name not be lost
to [A] the [E] novice men
[A] All those who loved her best
[Bm] and were with [A] her till the end

_ [A] _ All would with it withdrawn
[D] to [A] Barchelon by a friend
[Bm] Three times a day in a hard-hearted [D] suit
and twice up at [B] the bend
[A] They call it only sixteen
[D] the [A] current's here, earth's law
[Bm] For I never have the [B] strength to go below
_ _ [A] Well, the block defense
stopped the van, stopped
I should pour a hole down
[Bm] Put cables to her for an hour
and girded her [A] around
Tomorrow noon we hit the [D] air
[A] and then dig up the strain [Bm] and make the
merry elven [A] garter rise again
_ [Bm] Rise again, [A]
rise again
[E] Let [D] her name not be [A] lost
to the [C#m] novice men

[B] _ [A] Well, couldn't leave her there, you see
to crumple little scale
She's [Bm] saved her life so many [D] times
living [E] through the gale
[A] And a laughing, grump and rant
so left it to a sorry grave
They won't be laughing in another [E] day
And [A] you to whom adversity
[D] has dealt [A] the final blow
[Bm] With smiling baffled sly
and to [D] you everywhere you [A] go
Start to put out all your strength [D] of arm
and [A] heart and brain
and [Bm] make the merry elven [A] garter rise again
[Bm] Rise again, _ [A]
rise [F#m] again
[D] Let her name not be [A] lost
to the [F#] novice men
[A] All those who loved her best
[D] and were [A] with her till the end
[Bm] Will make the merry elven garter [A]
rise again
_ [Bm] Rise again, [A]
rise again
[E] Let [D] her name _ [A] _
_ _ [E] _ [A] _ _ not be lost
to the novice men
[Bm] All [E] those who loved her best
