The Ringbearer

copyright 1982, 1995, 1997 W. Scott Snyder

Intro: E E A A | E E G D (2 times)

CHORUS:

E G A

I'm lost - within the ring of power

E G A

I'm lost - I'm getting weaker by the hour

E G A

With this chain around my neck the world becomes all black

E G A

Got to keep on running from the riders at my back

(Intro 1 time)

E G A

A high and mighty wizard sends me to the mount of fire

E G A

Told me not to put it on, for that's it's one desire

E G A

With this one ring, I could be the ruler of this land

E G D

Think of all the power that I carry in my hand

(Intro 1 time)

I travel 'cross the desert lands I run from place to place

Seldom is the time that I can find a friendly place

They chase me through the forests and they chase me underground

But this this ring upon my hand, I'm nowhere to be found

E E A A | E E A A

(CHORUS)

(Intro 2 times)

Soon I'll have to throw the ring into a firey pit

I don't know why I shudder at the very thought of it

When I'm done the time will be for the King to come

And once again in majesty to sit upon his throne

(Intro 1 time)

The Dark-One will have finally been stripped of all his power

And ruins will be made of the terrible black tower

A war is being fought of which I am the final fate

I must get this ring into the fire, I just can't bear the weight

E E A A | E E A A

(Chorus x 2)
