Where Now

by J.R.R. Tolkien
[Em] Where now the [D] horse and the [Am] rider?
[Em] Where is the [D] horn that was [Am] blowing?
[Em] Where is the [D] helm and the [Am] hauberk
[Em] and the [D] bright hair [Am] flowing?

[G] They have [Em] passed like rain on the [Am] mountain
like a [D] wind in the [G] meadow
[G] The days have [Em] gone down in the [Am] west
behind the [D] hills into [G] shadow.

Where is the hand on the harpstring?
and the red fire glowing?
Where is the spring and the harvest
and the tall corn growing?

Who shall gather the smoke
of the dead wood burning?
Or behold the flowing years
from the sea returning?

Where now the horse and the rider?
Where is the horn that was blowing?
Where is the helm and the hauberk
and the bright hair flowing?
