Intro 4x ||: Am G Em7 Am :|| 

Am          G         Em7              Am    
Now You all know, the bards and their songs. 
Am                   G    Em7           Am 
When hours have gone by, I'll close my eyes. 
Am              G     Em7          Am 
In a world far away, we may meet again. 
Am              G                Em7         Dm 
But now hear my song, about the dawn of the night. 
      C    G   Am     G          C G Am G 
Let's sing the bards' song.. 



  Dm Am       Dm      Am    Dm       Am 
Tomorrow will take us away, far from home, 
Dm          F    G        Dm 
No one will ever know our names,

But the bards' songs will remain. 
  Dm Am       Dm       Am       Dm        Am

It will be gone,   due to our magic songs.

Am                G    Em7        Am    
There's only one song, left in my mind. 
Am                G        Em7            Am    
Tales of a brave man, who lived far from here. 
Am                G               Em7         Am   
Now the bard songs are over, And it's time to leave.

Who tells the story.

But the bards' songs will remain. 
Dm    Am       Dm       Am       Dm        Am 
Tomorrow all will be known, and you´re not alone,  
Dm          F              G        Dm 
So don't be afraid, in the dark and cold, 
F           G            Am   G       Am      G    Am  
'Cause the bards' songs will remain, they all will remain. 


C     G            Am 
In my thoughts and in my dreams, 
        C      G     Am 
They're always in my mind, 
      C        G        Am 
These songs of hobbits, dwarves and men,  
C                G          Am 
And elves, come close Your eyes.. 
        C   G     Em7 
You can see them, too..
