Lúthien's Lament

[Verse]
F#m       D6 D
Oh great Mandos
 E        F#m
High among Valar
 F#m               D6 D
I come to you in sorrow
E               F#m
And with a broken heart
F#m              D6 D
Long has been my journey
     E             F#m
That led me to these halls
    F#m            D6 D
But now I kneel before thee
  E               F#m
As grief my spirit calls
 F#m               D6 D
I seek a man named Beren
       E           F#m
Whom I bid await me here
 F#m                    D6 D
I pledged that I would find him
 E                 F#m
Before he leaves this sphere
    F#m             D6 D
This man of whom I speak
   E                F#m
He gave his life for me
    F#m                 D6 D
But thence my soul grew weak
       E               F#m
And at last it too broke free
  F#m            D6 D
So borne upon an urgent breeze
   E               F#m
I travelled to this place
      F#m             D6 D
Where only one thing could appease
    E           F#m
The torment I now face
   F#m           D6 D
Oh tell me I am not too late
   E              F#m
To see my love once more
   F#m                 D6 D
For that would be too cruel a fate
  E            F#m
I beg him be restored
   F#m             D6 D
That we may take a little time
   E             F#m
To bid our last farewell
      F#m            D6 D
And remember all we shared erstwhile
     E               F#m
Such joy no one could quell
   F#m           D6 D
For never was a greater love
     E             F#m
Than that within our hearts
   F#m              D6 D
Once born, forever binding us
        E                     F#m
Eâen though through death we part
 
[Outro]
    F#m             D6 D
Once born, forever binding us
        E                     F#m
Eâen though through death we part
