Verse 1:


E minorEm        D MajorD
I sang of leaves, of leaves of gold, and

C majorC     H7     E minorEm
leaves of gold there grew

E minorEm       D MajorD
Of wind I sang, a wind there came

C majorC   H7      E minorEm
and in the branches blew

G+G        D MajorD
Beyond the Sun, beyond the Moon

E minorEm       D MajorD
the foam was on the Sea,

E minorEm          D MajorD
And by the strand of Ilmarin

C majorC      H7   E minorEm
There grew a Golden Tree

Verse 2:

E minorEm          D MajorD
Beneath the stars of Ever-eve

C majorC     D MajorD
In Eldamar it shone

E minorEm     D MajorD
In Eldamar beside the walls

C majorC H7  E minorEm
of Elven Tirion

Verse 3:

G+G           D MajorD
There long the golden leaves have grown

E minorEm         D MajorD
upon the branching years

E minorEm          D MajorD
While here beyond the Sundering Seas

C majorC      H7  E minorEm
Now fall the Elven tears

Verse 4:

G+G     D MajorD
O Lorien! The Winter comes,

E minorEm      C majorC    D MajorD
the bare and leafless Day.

E minorEm           D MajorD
The leaves are falling in the stream,

C majorC     H7  E minorEm
The river flows away

G+G     D MajorD
O Lorien! Too long I have

E minorEm           D MajorD
dwelt upon this hither shore

E minorEm        D MajorD
And in the fading crown have twined

C majorC     H7  E minorEm
the golden Elanor

Verse 5:

E minorEm       D MajorD
But if of ships I now should sing,

C majorC           D MajorD
what ship would come to me,

E minorEm           D MajorD
What ship would bear me ever back

C majorC     H7   E minorEm
across so wide a Sea?
