[Verse 1]

     Bm          G         Bm        GbmThe leaves were long, the grass was green,
     G      Bm      D        AThe hemlock-umbels tall and fair,
    Bm      G       D         EmAnd in the glade a light was seen
    Em   A   Bm      D    AOf stars in shadow shimmering.
   D          A        DTinuviel was dancing there
    D          D      ATo music of a pipe unseen,
     Bm        G       Bm      AAnd light of stars was in her hair,
    Bm      A        G    AAnd in her raiment glimmering.

[Verse 2]

       B     G         D        GbmThere Beren came from mountains cold,
     G   A  Bm       D      AAnd lost he wandered under leaves,
     Bm       G      G    GbmAnd where the Elven-river rolled.
    G       Bm       D    AHe walked along and sorrowing.
    Bm        G        D       AHe peered between the hemlock-leaves
    Bm      G      Bm         AAnd saw in wonder flowers of gold
 Bm      Gbm     A       BmUpon her mantle and her sleeves,
         G          A    Gbm   G     |   GAnd her hair like shadow following.

[Verse 3]

   Abm                 Abm    GbEnchantment healed his weary feet
    Abm    E          E        GbThat over hills were doomed to roam;
     Ab      Abm         Gb         EAnd forth he hastened, strong and fleet,
      E        Abm         B   GbAnd grasped at moonbeams glistening.
        Abm   Gb       E    GbThrough woven woods in Elvenhome
     E      Abm     Abm     Gb   |  GbShe lightly fled on dancing feet,
    Abm      Gb     Abm   EAnd left him lonely still to roam
       Abm    Gb         Ebm E    |   EIn the silent forest lis-ten-ing.

[Verse 4]

   Bbm                  Ab     BbmHe heard there oft the flying sound
   Gb      Db              FmOf feet as light as linden-leaves,
   Gb    Ab      BbmOr music welling underground,
   Gb     Ab      Fm    Gb     |      GbIn hidden hollows quavering.
    Bbm          Db  Ab       BbmNow withered lay the hemlock-sheaves,
    Gb     Db       Db      FmAnd one by one with sighing sound
  Gb       Ab       BbmWhispering fell the beechen leaves
       Gb      Ab      Fm  Ebm    |    EbmIn the wintry woodland wavering.

[Verse 5]

   Ebm        B     Db         BHe sought her ever, wandering far
       B         Gb                   BbmWhere leaves of years were thickly strewn,
    B        Db      EbmBy light of moon and ray of star
     B     Db      Bbm  BIn frosty heavens shivering.
    Ebm         Gb Db      AbHer mantle glinted in the moon,
   B             Ebm      BbmAs on a hill-top high and far
     B          Db      BShe danced, and at her feet was strewn
   B      Db     Bbm   B         |      BA mist of silver quivering.

[Verse 6]

     Ebm                        DbWhen winter passed, she came again,
        Ebm               Gb       DbAnd her song released the sudden spring,
     Gb      B        Gb       BLike rising lark, and falling rain,
    Ebm           Gb    DbAnd melting water bubbeling.
   Gb             Db       GbHe saw the elven-flowers spring
 Gb                           DbAbout her feet, and healed again
   Gb         B     Gb        BbmHe longed by her to dance and sing
  B                     DbUpon the grass untroubeling.

[Verse 7]

Bbm Ebm                 Db      EbmA - gain she fled, but swift he came.
  Gb        DbTinuviel! Tinuviel!
   Ebm               Gb     DbHe called her by her elvish name;
      B       Db      B    DbAnd there she halted listening.
Db  EbmOne moment stood she, and a spell
     Gb                DbHis voice laid on her: Beren came,
    Ebm             Gb  DbAnd doom fell on Tinuviel
     Ebm    Db        Ebm   DbThat in his arms lay glistening.

[Verse 8]

   Ebm            Gb     DbAs Beren looked into her eyes
   Ebm             DbWithin the shadows of her hair,
    Ebm                 Gb      DbThe trembling starlight of the skies
   Ebm       Db         B    DbHe saw there mirrored shimmering.
  Ebm        Gb     DbTinuviel the elven-fair,
   Gb           Abm   DbImmortal maiden elven-wise,
 Ebm                GbAbout him cast her shadowy hair
    Ebm       Db      Ebm   Db   |   DbAnd arms like silver glimmering.

[Verse 9]

Fm                              EbLong was the way that fate them bore,
      Fm             Ab        EbO'er stony mountains cold and grey,
        Db       Fm       Eb       DbThrough halls of iron and darkling door,
    Fm       Ab         Ab     FmAnd woods of nightshade morrowless.
    Db                 Ab       EbThe Sundering Seas between them lay,
    Fm               Db       Eb    |    EbAnd yet at last they met once more,
    Fm      Eb      Db           |  DbAnd long ag-o  they passed away
       Db      Eb            BIn the forest singing sorrowless.
