Nightfall

[Intro] Am  Fm  Am  E
        Dm  E  Am  E

   Am               Fm
No sign of life did flicker
   Am                    E
In floods of tears she cried
 F                    E
"All hope's lost it can't be undone
F                   E
They're wasted and gone"
 Am
"Save me your speeches
  F                     Am
I know (They blinded us all)
What you want

          G
You will take it away from me
Am                     F
Take it and I know for sure
     Am
The light she once brought in
    G           Am
Is gone forevermore"

     Am                      F
Like sorrowful seagulls they sang
                     Am
"(We're) lost in the deep shades
                 G
The misty cloud brought

(A wailing when beauty was gone
Come take a look at the sky)
Am                       F
Monstrous it covered the shore
Am                  G
Fearful into the unknown"

Bm
Quietly it crept in new horror
D          A
Insanity reigned
Bm
It spilled the first blood
D                      A
When the old king was slain

  D       G         D      A   Bm
Immortal land lies down in agony

     Bm
"How long shall we
D            A
Mourn in the dark
    Bm              D
The bliss and the beauty
     A
Will not return
     Bm          D            A
Say farewell to sadness and grief
       Bm        D        A
Though long and hard the road may be"

     C#
But even in silence I heard the words
Well, this is how I play it
"An oath we shall swear
By the name of the one
          A
'Til the world's end
(It can't be broken
Just wondering how
I can still hear these voices inside)
The doom of the Noldor drew near"

     B
The words of a banished king
A  C#      B
"I swear revenge"
                              A
Filled with anger aflamed our hearts
        C#           B
Full of hate full of pride
      C#          A
We screamed for revenge

 Bm
"Vala he is that's what you said
           D                   A
Then your oath's been sworn in vain

(Freely you came and
You freely shall depart)

Bm
Never trust the northern winds
D               A
Never turn your back on friends"

         Bm          D
"Oh I'm heir of the high lord!"
      Bm
"You better don't trust him"
    D        A
The enemy of mine
      F#           Bm
Isn't he of your kind and
D   A            Em  Bm      A   G A
Finally you may follow me
Bm                  D   A   G A
Farewell he said

Back to where it all began
