Verse 1:
Am          G
Now you all know,
Em7                 Am   
The bards and their songs.
Am                   G
When hours have gone by,
Em7            Am
I'll close my eyes.
Am              G
In a world far away,
Em7          Am
We may meet again.
Am              G
But now hear my song,
          Em7         Dm
About the dawn of the night.
      C    G   Am     G
Let's sing the bards' song..


Chorus:
  Dm Am       Dm      Am
Tomorrow will take us away,
Dm       Am
Far from home,
Dm          F    G        Dm
No one will ever know our names,
        Am           G      Am
But the bards' songs will remain.
  Dm Am       Dm       Am
Tomorrow will take it away,
    Dm        Am
The fear of today,
Dm         F
It will be gone,
    C  G         Em
Due to our magic songs.


Am G Em7 Am x4


Verse 2:
        Am       G
There's only one song,
Em7        Am
Left in my mind.
Am               G
Tales of a brave man,
    Em7            Am
Who lived far from here.
        Am             G
Now the bard songs are over,
    Em7          Am
And it's time to leave.
Am            G
No one should ask you
        Em7         Dm
For the name of the one,
    C     G   Am  G
Who tells the story.


Chorus:
  Dm Am       Dm      Am
Tomorrow will take us away,
Dm       Am
Far from home,
Dm          F    G        Dm
No one will ever know our names,
        Am           G      Am
But the bards' songs will remain.
  Dm Am  Dm          Am
Tomorrow all will be known,
    Dm          Am
And You're not alone,
   Dm        F
So don't be afraid,
       G        Dm
In the dark and cold,
            Am          G    C      G      Am
'Cause the bards' songs will rema - aaaa - aaain,
     C   G      Am
They all will remain.


Verse 3:
C     G            Am
In my thoughts and in my dreams,
        C      G     Am
They're always in my mind,
      C        G        Am                   C
These songs of hobbits, dwarves and men, and elves,

     G          Am
Come close your eyes..
        C   G     Em7
You can see them, too..
