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