Eowyn's Song

[Dm]When you go [Am]they'll wrap[G] me in linen
Kiss my l[Dm]ips once bef[C]ore they turn p[F]ale
On this m[Dm]orn you r[Am]ide to the hau[G]nted mountain
And no on[Dm]e will h[C]ear of this ta[G]le

I have carried a blade from a young age
And I value the skills I have kept
I have but one fear, to end in a cage
So I go with a mind full of death.

And o[G]h, I would have fol[D]lowed you do[A]wn to the e[Bm]nd
My capt[G]ain my ki[A]ng.
And o[G]h, [D]I would have foll[A]owed you d[Bm]own to the pat[G]hs of the dead
But I r[Dm]ide to find my o[Am]wn me[G]aning

When you go I'll shed these maiden's clothes
And my lips move with prayer on my breath
As a boy or a man I can face the blackness
For we meet with the armies of death

And oh I would have followed you down to the end
My captain my king
And oh I would have followed you down to the paths of the dead
But I ride to find my own meaning.

F[Dm]ire consu[C]mes the he[F]art that teaches
The ca[Dm]ptain of [C]evil to f[F]all
Des[Dm]ire as pu[C]re as a m[F]an that reaches
The h[Dm]umble he[C]ro in us a[G]ll

O[G]h I would have f[D]ollowed you do[A]wn to the e[Bm]nd  [G]
My ki[A]ng
And [G]oh [D]I would have fo[A]llowed you do[Bm]wn to the pa[G]ths of the dead
But I ri[Dm]de to find my o[Am]wn meanin[Dm]g.
