Em                D
I sang of leaves, of leaves of gold, and
C         H7         Em
leaves of gold there grew
Em              D
Of wind I sang, a wind there came
C      H7           Em
and in the branches blew
G               D
Beyond the Sun, beyond the Moon
Em              D
the foam was on the Sea,
Em                   D
And by the strand of Ilmarin
C            H7     Em
There grew a Golden Tree

[Verse 2]
Em                   D
Beneath the stars of Ever-eve
C          D
In Eldamar it shone
Em         D
In Eldamar beside the walls
C  H7    Em
of Elven Tirion

[Verse 3]
G                     D
There long the golden leaves have grown
Em                 D
upon the branching years
Em                    D
While here beyond the Sundering Seas
C            H7    Em
Now fall the Elven tears

[Verse 4]
G         D
O Lorien! The Winter comes,
Em           C        D
the bare and leafless Day.
Em                     D
The leaves are falling in the stream,
C         H7    Em
The river flows away
G         D
O Lorien! Too long I have
Em                     D
dwelt upon this hither shore
Em                D
And in the fading crown have twined
C          H7   Em
the golden Elanor

[Verse 5]
Em              D
But if of ships I now should sing,
C                      D
what ship would come to me,
Em                      D
What ship would bear me ever back
C         H7     Em
across so wide a Sea?
