_ _ [E] An _ elven maid there was of old, A [D] shining star [B] by day.
_ _ [A] Her _ [B] mantle white [C#m] was hemmed [B] with gold, [A] Her _ shoes of [B] _ silver [C#m]
gray.
_ [B] _ _ [E] A star [B] was [E] bound upon her brows, _ A light [Bm] was [E]
on her _ [B] hair.
_ [A] As sun [B] upon [E] the _ [B] golden boughs, [A] In _ [B] laurel the [C#m] _ fair.
[B] _ _ _
[E] Her hair [B] was long, [E]
her [B] limbs were white, [E] And fair [Bm] she _ was and [E] free. _ _
_ [A] And in [B] the wind [G#m] she went as light, [A] As leaf [B] of [A] linden [C#m] tree. _
_ _ _ _ Beside [B] the _ [E] falls of _ _ Nimrodel, By [D] water _ [A] clear and [E] _
cool,
_ [A] Her voice [G#m] as _ falling _ [C#] [B] silver fell _
[A] Into the _ shining [C#m] pool.
[G#m] _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ [B] _ _ _ _ [F#m] _ _ _
_ [B] _ _ _ _ _ [G] Where _ now she [Bm] _ wanders _
[C] none can tell, _ [G] In [C] sunlight _ [D] or in _ [G] shade.
_ For _ [Bm] lost of yore was _ [C] _ Nimrodel, [G] _
And [B] in the [Am] mountains _ [E]
stray. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
[B] _ _ _ [C#m] _ _ _ [F#m] _ _
_ _ [B] _ _ _ [E] The _ elven ship in _ [B] haven gray, _ _ [E] _ [D] Beneath the [C#m] mountain [B] _ _ lee,
_ _ [A] _
_ [B] Awaited her [C#m] for many [G#m] a day, _ [A] Beside [B] the roaring [C#m] _ _ [B] sea. _
[E] A wind [B] by [E] night in [B] northern _ [E] lands arose, [Bm] And loud it [E] cried, _
[A] And _ [B] drove the _ [C#] ship from [B] elven strands, [A] _ Across [B] the _ [A] streaming _ [C#m] tide. _ _
When dawn [B] came dim, [E] the land [G#m] was lost, [E] The mountains [Bm] _ sink in [E] gray. _ _
[A] Beyond _ [B] the _ [C#] heaving waves that [B] tossed Their [A] _ plumes [B] of _ [A] blinding [B] spray, _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ [B] _ _ _
[C#m] _ _ _ [F#m] _ _ [B] _ _ _
_ _ [E] _ [C#m] Amroth [B] _ beheld [E] the _ [B] fading shore, [E] Now low [D] _ beyond [B] the swell, _
_ [A] And cursed [B] the _ [C#m] faithless ship that bore [B] [A] Him far [B] from _ [C#m] _ _ [G#m] Nimrodel. _
_ [E] Of [C#m] old [B] he was [E] an [G#m] elven king, _ [E] A lord [D] of tree [B] and _ glen,
_ [A] When _ [B] golden were [C#m] the boughs in [G#m] spring, [A] In [C#m] fair _ _ _ Lothlórien.
[G#m] _
_ _ [E] From helm [B] to sea [E] they saw [B] him leap, [E] As _ [Bm] arrow [B] from the string,
[G#m] _ [A] And _ dive [B] into [C#m] the [E] water deep, [A] As [C#m] mew _ upon the _ [B] wing.
_ [E] The wind [G#m] was in [E] his [B] flowing [E] hair, The _ [Bm] foam [B] about him _ shone,
_ _ [A] _ [C#m] Afar they saw him strong and fair, [A] Go [E] riding _ like a _ [B] swan.
[E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ [B] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [A] _ _ [B] _ _
_ _ [G] But _ from the [Bm] west has come [C] no word, [G] And on [C] the [Bm] hither _ _ shore
[G] _ No _ _ tidings elven _ folk [C] have _ _ _ heard _ _ [G]
Of _ [Bm] _ [E] [B] Amroth _ _ _
_ _ [E] _ evermore. _ _ _
