Em D I sang of leaves, of leaves of gold, and C H7 Em leaves of gold there grew Em D Of wind I sang, a wind there came C H7 Em and in the branches blew G D Beyond the Sun, beyond the Moon Em D the foam was on the Sea, Em D And by the strand of Ilmarin C H7 Em There grew a Golden Tree [Verse 2] Em D Beneath the stars of Ever-eve C D In Eldamar it shone Em D In Eldamar beside the walls C H7 Em of Elven Tirion [Verse 3] G D There long the golden leaves have grown Em D upon the branching years Em D While here beyond the Sundering Seas C H7 Em Now fall the Elven tears [Verse 4] G D O Lorien! The Winter comes, Em C D the bare and leafless Day. Em D The leaves are falling in the stream, C H7 Em The river flows away G D O Lorien! Too long I have Em D dwelt upon this hither shore Em D And in the fading crown have twined C H7 Em the golden Elanor [Verse 5] Em D But if of ships I now should sing, C D what ship would come to me, Em D What ship would bear me ever back C H7 Em across so wide a Sea?
