[Verse 1]

    Am            G Am           C    Am              G     Am   C
The Queen of Light  took her bow, and then she turned to go
    Am             G  Am               C    Am               G    Am   C
The Prince of Peace embraced the gloom, and walked the night alone

D
(Oh, dance in the dark of night, sing to the morning light.)
    Am              G  Am           C    Am             G  Am   C
The Dark Lord rides in force tonight and time will tell us all.

 D
(Oh, throw down your plow and hoe, rest not to lock your homes)
Am          G   Am            C       Am         G        Am    C
Side by side we wait the might of the darkest of them all.

[Chorus 1]

Am7           D               Am7                   D
   I hear the horses thunder, down in the valley below
G7                    C                 G7                      C
  I'm waiting for the angels of Avalon, waiting for the eastern glow


[Verse 2]

    Am        G   Am         C    Am                G    Am    C
The apples of the valley hold the seeds of happiness,
    Am             G    Am         C   Am          G  Am    C
The ground is rich from tender care, repay, do not forget

D
(Oh, dance in the dark of night, sing to the morning light)
    Am         G   Am              C    Am           G   Am    C
The apples turn to brown and black, the tyrant's face is red.

D
(Oh, war is the common cry, pick up your swords and fly.)
    Am           G     Am          C     Am         G  Am    C
The sky is filled with good and bad that mortals never know.

[Chorus 2]

Am7             D                  Am7                D
   Oh well, the night is long, the beads of time pass slow,
G7                   C       G7                      C
  Tired eyes on the sunrise, waiting for the eastern glow.


[Verse 3]

    Am         G   Am        C    Am           G  Am    C
The pain of war cannot exceed the woe of th' aftermath,
    Am              G    Am          C    Am               G  Am     C
The drums will shake the castle wall, the Ringwraiths ride in black,  Ride..

D
  ...On,  (Sing as you raise your bow, shoot straighter than before)
   Am         G    Am           C     Am              G  Am    C
No comfort has the fire at night that lights the face so cold

D
(Oh, dance in the dark of night, sing to the morning light.)
    Am         G    Am          C   Am           G    Am   C
The magic runes are writ in gold to bring the balance back,  bring it back

[Chorus 3]

Am7            D                   Am7                 D
   At last the sun is shining, the clouds of blue roll by,
G7                     C                      G7              C
  With flames from the dragon of darkness the sunlight blinds his eyes.

[Outro]

Am    G        Am    C        Am    G        Am    C
Back, bring it back, bring it back, bring it back, bring it

Bring it, bring it, bring it, bring it, bring it, bring it
