[Verse 1]
Am G F
The world was young, the mountains green
Em Am
No stain yet on, the moon was seen
Am C
No words were laid, on stream or stone
G Am
When Durin woke, and walked alone
G
He named the nameless hills and dells
Am C G
He drank from yet untasted wells
F Am G
He stooped and looked in Mirrormere
Dm C F G
And saw a crown of stars appear
Dm G C F
As gems upon a silver thread
Em Am
Above the shadows of his head
[Verse 2]
G C F
The world is gray, the mountains old
G Em Am
The forge's fire, is ashen cold
G C
No harp is wrung, no hammer falls
G Am
The darkness dwells in Durin's halls
C G
The shadow lies upon his tomb
Am C G
In Moria, in Khazad-dûm
F Am G
But still the sunken stars appear
Dm Em F G
In dark and windless Mirrormere
Dm G C Dm
There lies his crown in waters deep
F G Am
Till Durin wakes again from sleep
