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.

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.

And the Ring of Doom! 
   Am            Em 
Accepted a heavy burden 
        Bm       Em 
For the fires to consume

Why does he have nine fingers? 
      Bm             Em 
Where is the Ring of Doom?
