Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
 
 No sign  of life did flicker
 In floods  of tears she cried
 "All  hope's lost it can't  be undone
They're  wasted and gone"
 "Save  me your speeches
 I know  (They blinded us all)
 What you want
 You will take  it away from me
Take  it and I know for sure
 The light  she once brought in
 Is gone  forevermore"
 Like sorrowful  seagulls they sang
 "(We're) lost in the deep  shades
 The misty cloud brought
 (A wailing when beauty was gone
 Come take a look at the sky)
Monstrous  it covered the shore
Fearful  into the unknown"
Quietly  it crept in new horror
Insanity  reigned
It  spilled the first blood
When  the old king was slain
Nightfall
Quietly  it crept in and changed  us  all
Nightfall
Quietly  it crept in and changed  us  all
Nightfall
 Immortal  land  lies down  in agony
 "How long  shall we
Mourn  in the dark
 the bliss  and the beauty
 Will not  return
 Say farewell  to sadness  and grief
 Though long  and hard  the road  may be"
 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
 '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 |This part is tricky as hell. This
 The words of a banished king |is how I play it though. Far from
  |perfect. Anyone got better idea?
"I swear  revenge"
 Filled with anger aflamed our hearts
 Full of hate  full of pride
 We screamed  for revenge
 "Vala  he is that's what you said
 Then your oath's  been sworn in vain
 (freely you came and
 You freely shall depart)
Never  trust the northern winds
Never  turn your back  on friends"
 "Oh I'm heir  of the high  lord!"
 "You better  don't trust him"
 The enemy  of mine
 Isn't he  of your kind  and
Finally  you may follow me
Farewell  he said
Back  to where it all began
Back  to where it all began
