The Lament for Boromir as written by J.R.R. Tolkien. Melody by Colin Rudd (https://www.youtube.com/user/colinjohnrudd).
        Am         G             Em                  Am
Through Rohan over fen and field where the long grass grows

    C               G            Am        G        Am
The West Wind comes walking, and about the walls it goes

     C                     G                      Am       G     Am
What news from the west, o wandering wind, do you bring to me tonight?

     Am            G              Em             Am
Have you seen Boromir the Tall by moon or by starlight?

  Am                G                   Em              Am
I saw him ride over seven streams, over waters wide and grey

  C               G              Am     G     Am
I saw him walk in empty lands until he passed away

  C               G               Am      G      Am
Into the shadows of the North, I saw him then no more

    Am                  G                     Em         Am
The North Wind may have heard the horn of the son of Denethor

  C                 G           G                 Am
O Boromir, from the high walls, westward I looked afar

        Am                G          Em            Am
But you came not from the empty lands where no men are

         Am                   G                          Em                  Am
From the mouth of the sea the South Wind flies, from the sandhills and the stones

    C                G                 Am     G       Am
The wailing of the gulls it bears, and at the gate it moans

     C                      G                    Am       G     Am
What news from the south, o sighing wind, do you bring to me at eve?

     Am            G            Em             Am
Have you seen Boromir the Fair, he tarries and I grieve

Am                  G             Em                   Am
Ask not of me where he doth dwell, so many bones there lie

       C                    G           Am        G       Am
On the white shores and the dark shores under the stormy sky

   C                     G         Am       G       Am
So many have passed down Anduin to find the flowing sea

Am                    G                 Em                  Am
Ask of the North Wind, news of them the North Wind sends to me

  C          G                  G                Am
O Boromir, beyond the gate, the seaward road runs south

        Am                G            Em                 Am
But you came not with the wailing gulls from the grey sea's mouth

         Am                G                   Em                Am
From the Gate of Kings the North Wind rides and past the roaring falls

    C                 G          Am     G      Am
And clear and cold about the tower its loud horn calls

     C                      G                   Am      G      Am
What news from the north, o mighty wind, do you bring to me today?

     Am             G             Em           Am
What news of Boromir the Bold, for he is long away

        Am         G             Em                   Am
Beneath Amon Hen I heard his cry, there many foes he fought

    C                  G               Am        G       Am
His cloven shield, his broken sword, they to the water brought

    C                  G                 Am         G       Am
His head so proud, his face so fair, his limbs they laid to rest

    Am             G                Em             Am
And Rauros, golden Rauros falls, bore him upon its breast

  C            G                    G               Am
O Boromir, the Tower of Guard shall ever northward gaze

   Am             G           Em                Am
To Rauros, golden Rauros falls until the end of days
