Capo: 1 Tuning:

This is the complete Song of Eärendil. Through out the text there will be indicated the three different section. When chords are repeated close to each other they are longer. The interlude between 2 and 3might have some problems with the chords. I've added a version of the interlude that features the full poem. Feedback are apreciated. Capo 1 (if you do not have a capo transpose 1 up) --- PART 1 --- Intro: Bm Bm G A Bm Bm G G Bm Bm G A B Bm B

^BmIn panoply of ^F#mancient kings, in ch^Bmainéd rings he ar^F#mmoured him; his s^Dhining shield was s^F#mcored with runes ^Gto ward all w^Aounds and h^Bmarm from him; his b^Bmow was made of d^F#mragon-horn, his a^Drrows shorn of e^F#mbony; of s^Bmilver was his h^F#mabergeon, his s^F#cabbard ^Dof c^F#halcedony; his sw^Bord of steel was ^F#mvaliant, of ^Badamant his h^Aelmet tall, an ^Beagle-plume ^F#mupon his crest, ^Eupon his breast an ^Bemerald. ^B

Ben^Bmeath the Moon and ^F#munder star he ^Bmwandered far from n^Dorthern strands, be^Bmwildered on en^F#mchanted ways ^Gbeyond the d^Aays of m^Bmortal lands. From g^Bnashing of the N^Emarrow Ice where sh^Badow lies on fr^Emozen hills, from n^Bether heats and b^Emurning waste he t^Curned in haste, and r^Boving still on s^Amtarless waters f^Bar astray at l^Amast he came to N^Bight of Naught, and p^Amassed, and never s^Bight he saw of sh^Amining shore nor l^Bight he sought. The ^Bwinds of wrath came dr^Giving him, and bl^Bindly in the f^F#moam he fled from w^Best to east and ^Gerrandless, un^F#mherald^Eed he h^Bomeward sped.

He s^F#aw the Mountain s^Dilent rise where tw^F#ilight lies up^C#mon the knees of V^F#alinor, and ^DEldamar beh^C#meld a^Bfar bey^F#ond the seas. ^F#A wanderer esc^C#aped from night ^F#to haven white he c^Bame at l^East, to ^F#Elvenhome the g^C#reen and fair where k^Been the air, where p^F#ale as glass benea^Eth the Hill of ^F#Ilmarin a-glim^Emer in a v^F#alley sheer the l^Eamplit t^Emowers of T^F#irion are m^Eirrored on the S^F#hadowmere.
