Lament for Theoden

		       Em            A

(1)		From dark Dunharrow in the ?? morning
		       Em               A

		with thane and captain rode Thengel's son:
		     Em                 C

		to Edoras he came, the ancient halls
		  Em                  C

		of the Mark-Wardens mist-enshrouded;
		  D              Em

		golden timbers were in gloom mantled/
		   C      D       Em

		Farewell he bade to his free people,
		   C        D          Em

		hearth and high-seat, and the hallowed places,
		       C            Am       H7

		where long he had feasted ere the light faded.

(2)		Forth rode the king, fear behind him,
		fate before him. Fealty kept he;
		oaths he had taken, all fulfilled them.
		Forth rode Theoden. Five nights and days
		east and onward rode the Eurlingas
		through Folde and Fenmarch and the Firienwood,
		six thousand spears to Sunlending,
		Mundburg the mighty under Mindolluin,

		 Em               Hm

R: 		Sea-kings' city in the South-Kingdom
		 Am                 D

		foe-beleaguered, fire-encircled.
		   G                  A

		Doom dreve them on Darkness took them,
		   C                  D

		horse and horseman; hoofbeats afar
		  Am               Em C    D      Em

		sank into silence: so the song tells us.
