Nightfall (Acústico)

[Intro ]Am  F  Am  Em 
        F  E   F   E  

   Am               F 
No sign of life did flicker 
   Am                    Em 
In floods of tears she cried 
 F                    E 
"All hope's lost it can't be undone 
F                   E 
They're wasted and gone" 
 Am               
"Save me your speeches 
  F                     Am 
I know (They blinded us all) 
What you want                  

          G 
You will take it away from me 
Am                     F 
Take it and I know for sure 
     Am   
The light she once brought in 
    G           Am 
Is gone forevermore" 

     Am                      F 
Like sorrowful seagulls they sang 
                     Am 
"(We're) lost in the deep shades 
                 G 
The misty cloud brought 

(A wailing when beauty was gone 
Come take a look at the sky) 
Am                       F 
Monstrous it covered the shore 
Am                  G 
Fearful into the unknown" 

Bm 
Quietly it crept in new horror 
D          A 
Insanity reigned 
Bm 
It spilled the first blood 
D                      A 
When the old king was slain

"How long shall we 
D            A 
Mourn in the dark 
    Bm              D 
the bliss and the beauty 
     A 
Will not return 
     Bm          D            A 
Say farewell to sadness and grief 
       Bm        D        A       
Though long and hard the road may be" 

     C# 
But even in silence I heard the words   
Well, this is how I play it. 
"An oath we shall swear                  
By the name of the one                    
          A 
'til the world's end                    
(It can't be broken                     
Just wondering how                        
I can still hear these voices inside)      
The doom of the Noldor drew near"          

     B                                     
The words of a banished king               
A  C#      B 
"I swear revenge" 
                              A 
Filled with anger aflamed our hearts 
        C#           B 
Full of hate full of pride 
      C#          A 
We screamed for revenge

"Vala he is that's what you said 
           D                   A 
Then your oath's been sworn in vain 

(freely you came and 
You freely shall depart) 

Bm 
Never trust the northern winds 
D               A 
Never turn your back on friends" 

         Bm          D  
"Oh I'm heir of the high lord!" 
      Bm 
"You better don't trust him" 
    D        A 
The enemy of mine 
      F#           Bm 
Isn't he of your kind and 
D   A            Em  Bm      A   G A 
Finally you may follow me 
Bm                  D   A   G A 
Farewell he said
