 There are signs on the ring which make me feel so down
        am             C             G                em
 Theres one to enslave all rings, to find them all in time
     am              C         G       em         am
 And drive them into darkness, forever they'll be bound
 am            em           G             H7
 Three for the kings of the elves high in light
 C           am          em           <- ? I'm not sure about that
 Nine to the mortal that cry
 em   D        hm           C
 I'll take the ring full of sorrow
 em   D        hm          C
 I'll take the ring till I die
 em   D        hm           C
 I'll take the ring full of sorrow
 em   D        hm          C
 I'll take the ring till I die
 em   D          hm          C
 Slow down and I sail on the river
 em   D          hm          C
 Slow down and I walk to the hill
 em   D          hm          C
 Slow down and I sail on the river
 em   D          hm          C        D
 Slow down and I walk to the hill
 am
 And there's no way out ---
