Chorus 1:
Am
Frodo of the nine fingers

And the Ring of Doom!

Spoken section:
Am
It has its beginnings two Ages past,
Em
When Bilbo set forth to reclaim the Dwarves' Gold
        Bm
From the dragon Smaug.
Em
And, while on his quest,
           C         Em   C
Bilbo stumbled into a deep, dank cave.

Verse 1:
   G        Em
When Bilbo found that shiny ring
  G        C
In Gollum's cave of gloom,
  G         Am
He never thought that it would turn
 Bm  C    D
Into a Ring of Doom.
  G         Em
The dragon Smaug, the spiders, too,
  G         C
The goblins, the Elven-king.
   G        Am
They came to know the power of
  Bm       Em   G  Am  Bm  Em
The Hobbit and his Ring.

Frodo of the nine fingers
Em
And the Ring of Doom!
  Am       Em
It started with a hobbit
  Bm        Em   C
In Gollum's cave of gloom.

Verse 2:
  G      Em
The power of the Ring, it grew,
  G        C
And Gandalf sat, in thought.
  G          Am
He knew that it must be destroyed
  Bm     C   D
In fires where it was wrought.
   G     Em
For, if in evil hands it fell,
  G          C
The Earth would know its end.
  G          Am
No force of arms would win the day,
  Bm       Em
No armies could contend.

Chorus 3:
Am
Frodo of the nine fingers
Em
And the Ring of Doom!
  Am      Em
Accepted a heavy burden
    Bm    Em
For the fires to consume

Chorus 4:
Am
Frodo of the nine fingers
Em
And the Ring of Doom!
  Am        Em
Why does he have nine fingers?
   Bm       Em
Where is the Ring of Doom?
