And, while on his quest,

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,

The goblins, the Elven-king.

In Gollum's cave of gloom. 


verse 2 
    G            Em 
The power of the Ring, it grew,

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.

For the fires to consume
