D6						% world was young the
D6						% mountains green, No
C6						% stain yet on the
C6						% moon was seen, No
B,6						% words were laid on
B,6						% stream or stone, When
G,6						% Durin woke and
G,6						% walked
D6						% alone.
D6
D6
D6						% He
D6						% named the nameless
D6						% hills and dells, He
C6						% drank from yet un-
C6						% tasted wells, He
B,6						% stooped and looked in
B,6						% Mirrormere, and
G,6						% saw a crown of
G,6						% stars appear, As
B,6						% gems upon a
B,6						% silver thread a-
G,6						% bove the shadow
G,6						% of his
D6						% head.
D6
D6
D6						% The
D6						% world was fair, the
D6						% mountains tall, In
C6						% Elder Days be-
C6						% fore the fall, Of
B,6						% mighty Kings in
B,6						% Nargothrond, And
G,6						% Gondolin, who
G,6						% now beyond, The
B,6						% Western Seas have
B,6						% passed away, The
G,6						% world was fair
G,6						% in Durin's
D6						% Day.
D6
D6
D6						% A
D6						% king he was on
D6						% carven throne, In
C6						% many-pillared
C6						% halls of stone, With
B,6						% golden roof and
B,6						% silver floor, And
G,6						% runes of power u-
G,6						% pon the door. The
B,6						% light of sun and
B,6						% star and moon, In
G,6						% shining lamps of
G,6						% crystal hewn, Un-
B,6						% dimmed by cloud or
B,6						% shade of night, There
G,6						% shone forever
G,6						% fair and
D6						% bright.
