Frodo of the Nine Fingers by Glenn Yarbrough from the 1980 film "The Return of the King".
I do not own this piece of music, or "The Lord of the Rings".

[Intro]
Em
[Chorus 1]
Am
Frodo of the nine fingers
Em
And the Ring of Doom!
[Spoken section]
Am
It has its beginnings two Ages past,
Em
When Bilbo set forth to reclaim the Dwarves' Gold
Bm
From the dragon Smaug.
Em
And, while on his quest,
C Em C
Bilbo stumbled into a deep, dank cave.
[Verse 1]
G Em
When Bilbo found that shiny ring
G C
In Gollum's cave of gloom,
G Am
He never thought that it would turn
Bm C D
Into a Ring of Doom.
G Em
The dragon Smaug, the spiders, too,
G C
The goblins, the Elven-king.
G Am
They came to know the power of
Bm Em G Am Bm Em
The Hobbit and his Ring.
[Chorus 2]
Am
Frodo of the nine fingers
Em
And the Ring of Doom!
Am Em
It started with a hobbit
Bm Em C
In Gollum's cave of gloom.
[Verse 2]
G Em
The power of the Ring, it grew,
G C
And Gandalf sat, in thought.
G Am
He knew that it must be destroyed
Bm C D
In fires where it was wrought.
G Em
For, if in evil hands it fell,
G C
The Earth would know its end.
G Am
No force of arms would win the day,
Bm Em
No armies could contend.
[Chorus 3]
Am
Frodo of the nine fingers
Em
And the Ring of Doom!
Am Em
Accepted a heavy burden
Bm Em
For the fires to consume
[Chorus 4]
Am
Frodo of the nine fingers
Em
And the Ring of Doom!
Am Em
Why does he have nine fingers?
Bm Em
Where is the Ring of Doom?
