Mmm mmm mmm mmm

Mmm mmm

    Am        G          C         F
The world was young, the mountains green
   F         G       Em       Am
No stain yet on, the moon was seen
   Am         G        Em        C
No words were laid, on stream or stone
     F       G      Em     Am
When Durin woke, and walked alone
                      F         G
He named the nameless hills and dells
    Am         C     F      G
He drank from yet untasted wells
     F          Am        C    G
He stooped and looked in Mirrormere
     Dm     C        F     G
And saw a crown of stars appear
    Am   G      C       F
As gems upon a silver thread
 F        G       Em     Am
Above the shadows of his head

     Am        G         C        F
The world was fair, the mountains tall
   Dm     G     Em       Am
In Elder Days before the fall
   Am     G               Dm
Of mighty kings in Nargothrond
         C        F     G
And Gondolin, who now beyond
    Am      F         G       C
The Western Seas have passed away
    F         G       Em      Am
The world was fair in Durin's Day

  Am      F      C      G
A king he was on carven throne
   Am   G          F        G
In many-pillared halls of stone
     Am     F        C      Am
With golden roof and silver floor
    F        C     F        G
And runes of power upon the door
    Am       F       C        G
The light of sun and star and moon
   Dm      F         Am       G
In shining lamps of crystal hewn
  Am         G        C        F
Undimmed by cloud or shade of night
      F         G    Em       Am
There shone for ever fair and bright

      Am     F      C     G
There hammer on the anvil smote
      Am     F          C      G
There chisel clove, and graver wrote
      Am         F          C         Am
There forged was blade, and bound was hilt
    F      C          Am    G
The delver mined, the mason built
      Am     F          C    G
There beryl, pearl, and opal pale
    Dm    F            Am      G
And metal wrought like fishes' mail
Am           G        C       F
Buckler and corslet, axe and sword
    Dm      G           Em      Am
And shining spears were laid in hoard

F   G
Aah Aah

  Am       C         Dm      Em
Unwearied then were Durin's folk
  Am        C         F  C   G
Beneath the mountains music woke
    Am      G           C         F
The harpers harped, the minstrels sang
    F      G         Em       Am
And at the gates the trumpets rang

     Am      G         C         F
The world is gray, the mountains old
    F       G        Em    Am
The forge's fire, is ashen cold
   Am      G                  C
No harp is wrung, no hammer falls
    F          G         Em      Am
The darkness dwells in Durin's halls
    Am     F      Dm       Em
The shadow lies upon his tomb
   Am  C     F      G
In Moria, in Khazad-dûm
     F        Am     Dm    C  G
But still the sunken stars appear
    Dm      C        F     G
In dark and windless Mirrormere
      Am       G        C      Dm
There lies his crown in water deep
     F     G     Em         Am
Till Durin wakes again from sleep
