Am        G               Am
The tenure of kings and their magistrates
   Am          G         Am
By good men it must be deposed
    F        C           G         Am
The covenant made can be voided at once

Disanoint him, take his crown

They plead for their king And they pity their lord

Put him to death, that's what I say
       F        C          G         Am
Though never so just these dancing divines
  C            F          G
Endue him with reason and grace
        F         C        G          Am
They're gibberish Words dissemble the facts

God's will They falsely will claim

On these blood stained pages of misery
        C         F         G
Let him call me a tyrant so cruel
        Am    F  C          G          Am
Let him curse my name But remember the truth

They witness revenge Hear them calling

You're laden with blood It's spilled everywhere
    Am       G   Am
And sorrow's everlasting

Curse My Name

Am			G
Now You all know,
Em			Am
The bards and their songs.
Am			G
When hours have gone by,
Em			Am
I'll close my eyes.
Am			G
In a world far away,
Em			Am
We may meet again.
Am			G
But now hear my song,
		Dm
About the dawn of the night.
C		G	  Am	  G
Let's sing the bards' song..

Chorus:
Dm	Am    Dm      Am
Tomorrow will take us away,
Dm	Am
Far from home,
Dm	F	G	Dm
No one will ever know our names,
Am	G		Am
But the bards' songs will remain.
Dm       Am    Dm     Am
Tomorrow will take it away,
Dm          Am
The fear of today,
	    Dm
It will be gone,
C      G	Em
Due to our magic songs.

There's only one song,
Left in my mind.
Tales of a brave man,
Who lived far from here.
Now the bard songs are over,
And it's time to leave.
No one should ask You for the name Of the one,.
Who tells the story.

[Chorus]
Tomorrow will take us away,
Far from home,
No one will ever know our names,
But the bards' songs will remain.
Tomorrow all will be known,
And You're not alone,
So don't be afraid,
In the dark and cold,
'Cause the bards' songs will remain,
They all will remain.

C      G                   Am
In my thoughts and in my dreams,
         C     G      Am 
They're always in my mind,
      C         G                     Am
These songs of hobbits, dwarves and men,
C
And elves,
     G           Am
Come Gclose Your eyes..
         C    G      Em
You can see them, too..

The Minstrel

Dm             F        C                    Am
Leave me alone, Isolation bears hope
               Bb                                     Gm        C
There's something else waiting, a promised destiny
  Dm           F            C              Am       Bb
Freezing me, I feel restless and low,  these Days full of sadness
          Gm            C            Dm
Had joyfully changed,  Into fear
        Bb                  C      Dm               Bb        C          Dm   
My freakshow will start tonight, Don't miss the right time!

  Dm             Bb              C      Dm         Bb          C       Dm  
Bright eyes, Blinded by fear of life   No Merlin is by my side

Dm                          F      C             Am
Hey, mother stubborn, I really hate you
                Bb                Gm
if you say yes, I will say NO!
  Dm          F               C                   Am
Ashes To ashes, But dust won't be dust
               Bb                   Gm
if you go there,  I will go back

 Dm               Bb            C       Dm      Bb           C   Dm        
Bright eyes, Blinded by fear of life  Betrayed by sunrise, 
 Dm              Bb             C       Dm      Bb    C    Gm      Dm
Bright eyes, Blinded by fear of life, No Merlin is by my side

Dm                   F                  C                Am
Hey, father stubborn, you're yin and I'm yang
          Bb                      Gm
I feel alone, who really cares
Dm              F            C               Am
Born into ashes, To lose all the games
                             Bb                       Gm
With a smiling face,   A smiling face

  Dm              Bb                       C    Dm          Bb    C   Dm       
Bright eyes, Blinded by fear of life  And dark dragons rise, 
 Dm               Bb                       C  Dm     Bb      C        Dm
Bright eyes Blinded by fear of life, No Merlin is by my side

Mordred's Song

Intro: Am   F   Am  Em
       F    E   F   E 


   Am               F
No sign of life did flicker
   Am                    Em
In floods of tears she cried
 F                    E
"All hope's lost it can't be undone
F                   E
They're wasted and gone"
 
 Am              
"Save me your speeches
  F                     Am
I know (They blinded us all)
What you want                 
          G
You will take it away from me
Am                     F
Take it and I know for sure
     Am  
The light she once brought in

    G           Am
Is gone forevermore"
     Am                      F
Like sorrowful seagulls they sang
                     Am
"(We're) lost in the deep shades
                 G
The misty cloud brought

(A wailing when beauty was gone
Come take a look at the sky)

Am                       F
Monstrous it covered the shore
Am                  G
Fearful into the unknown"


Bm
Quietly it crept in new horror
D          A
Insanity reigned
Bm
It spilled the first blood
D                      A
When the old king was slain


Bm   G
Nightfall
D                       Em        Gb
Quietly it crept in and changed us all
Bm   G
Nightfall
D                       Em        Gb
Quietly it crept in and changed us all
Bm   G
Nightfall
  D       G         D      A   Bm
Immortal land lies down in agony


     Bm
"How long shall we
D            A
Mourn in the dark
    Bm              D
the bliss and the beauty
     A
Will not return
     Bm          D            A
Say farewell to sadness and grief
       Bm        D        A      
Though long and hard the road may be"

     Db
But even in silence I heard the words    .
"An oath we shall swear                 
By the name of the one                   
          A
'til the world's end                   
(It can't be broken                    
Just wondering how                       
I can still hear these voices inside)     
The doom of the Noldor drew near"         

     B                                     
The words of a banished king               
A  Db      B
"I swear revenge"
                              A
Filled with anger aflamed our hearts
        Db           B
Full of hate full of pride
      Db          A
We screamed for revenge


chorus


 Bm
"Vala he is that's what you said
           D                   A
Then your oath's been sworn in vain

(freely you came and
You freely shall depart)

Bm
Never trust the northern winds
D               A
Never turn your back on friends"
         Bm          D 
"Oh I'm heir of the high lord!"
      Bm
"You better don't trust him"
    D        A
The enemy of mine
      Gb           Bm
Isn't he of your kind and
D   A            Em    Bm      A   G A
Finally you may follow me

Bm                  D   A   G A
Farewell he said


chorus


Bm                   G      
Back to where it all began
Bm                   Gb7
Back to where it all began

&quot;Nightfall&quot; is the fourth song on the &quot;Nightfall In Middle-Earth&quot; album, by Blind Guardian. In &quot;Nightfall&quot;, F

Verse 1:
           B
I'm going back to the time when we owned this town
      E
Down Powder Mill Lane, in the battlegrounds
C#m        B                   G#m  B     F#
We were friends and lovers and clueless clowns


Verse 2:
                      B       
I didn't know I'd be finding out now I was torn from you
         E
When we thought about things we were gonna do
C#m      B                    G#m B  F# 
We were wide eyed dreamers and wiser too


Chorus:
               E              B 
Go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café


Verse 3:
                          B
I'm begging you for some sign, but you've still got nothing to say
        E
Don't turn your back on me, don't walk away
C#m     B                   G#m  B   F#
I'm a better man now than I was that day


Chorus:
                      E              B 
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

                 E               B
Go down to the bandstand on the pier
           G#m                    F#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                      E                     G#m   F#     
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café


Bridge:
   E        B           F#
I wheel my bike off the train,
        F#
Up the North Trade Road,
 E        B             F# 
Look for you on Marley Lane
                          G#m
In every building, every streetlight
                   E               F#  G#m  B  F#
Oh why did we ever go so far from home?


Verse 4:
                        B
You keep on leaving me mile long traces of who you are
         E
You can get a big house and a faster car
C#m      B                    G#m   B  F#
You can run away boy, but you won't go far


Chorus:
                      E              B
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

                    E                B
Stroll down to the bandstand on the pier
           G#m                    F#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                     E                      G#m   F#
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café 

      E            B    G#m
La la la la la la la la Yeah, 
     F#                      E       B   F#

American Dream 

G Bm Em A
Well everybody's lookin' for something they can't find,
Walking straight ahead blind-folded production line,
Only taking time for one type of shoe-shine.
Don't look left/right now you got a street fine.
Everybody lookin' for just a little more.
Working late-nights trying to fight off the day glow.
Waiting for the come-around but it is a no show.
Driving in the fast lane lookin' for the slow-mo...

C D A
Oh whats in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know well I don't know man anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time you,
Where were you, you weren't listenin', gonna be a long time
Gonna be a long time.

G Bm Em A
So now you're face down, face lookin like a frying pan.
Hitting up the clubs trying to feel like a real man.
Beating your chest just like you're King Kong but you're just a gui-tar no-string no-song.
Feeling free like ya don't even know it, man you're towing the line hoping you just don't blow it.
Man ya stuck in the mainframe trying to win the big game so much potential it even makes it more of a shame, shame, shame...
Here we go again, same old shit just another name.
Looking at the destiny there in your palm,
But now you got your strings but you got no song.
So sing, sing, sing - shake it like a chicken wing.
It's not what you get it's about what you bring-bring-bring.
So bring it, bring it to the table, not because you have to 'cos you're willing and you're able!

C D A
Oh what's in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know, I don't know anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time.
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time.
You, where were you, you weren't listening, gonna be a long time.
Gonna be a long time.

when you think there's no reason to try
               D                           A
and you hate yourself and wanna die

A                                      E
when you're filled with anxiety
             D                   A
and everyone's your enemy
A                                        E
when you wish you were someone else
                 D                        A
and you wanna go out and kill yourself

Overreacting

C#
There's a portrait
     Ab
In a back room
           F#
Which I'll keep for days upon
          C#
Which I relent 
              B
And gaze for hours on
    Bbm                  F#
The muscle, skin and bone
         Ab
Of some imaginary friend

F# Ab F#

        C#
So how about it 
        Ab
Show me please 
           F#
How I will look in twenty years
           C#
And let me please 
          B
Interpret history 
       Bbm        F#
In every line and scar 
               Ab                  
That's painted there in front of me

F# Ab F# Ab F# Ab

           C#
It doesn't matter
         Ab
What I'm thinking
       F#
What I tell myself to do
         C#      F#
I end up calling

       C#
I stay in to
                   Ab
Defrost the fridge
        F#
Now the kid has gone to bed
             C#
A feeling of dread
              B         
At least when she's around
    Bbm
The trouble's there
     F#                        Ab
It's worse to wake up with her falling 'round the room

F# Ab F# Ab F# Ab

       C#
Listen Johnny
              F#
You're like a mother
       C#                     F#
To the girl you've fallen for
                 C#
And you're still falling

       C#
Listen Johnny
              Ab
You're like a mother
       F#
To the girl you've fallen for
                 C#
And you're still falling

            B
And if they come tonight
       Bbm
You'll roll up tight
     F#             Ab
And take whatever's coming to you next (oh, oh oh oh)

 F# Ab to end.
