[Intro-story]
(***soft hum in Am on the background***)
Am
In the sheltering shade of the forest
Am
Calling calming silence
Am
Accompanied only by the full moon
Am
The howling of a night wolf
F          Dm            Am
- And the path under my bare feet
    Am         F G
The Elvenpath

[Verse 1]
 Am     Bb              G      Am
Hearing music from the deepest forest
 Dm           F         Am
Songs as a seduction of sirens
    Bb           G      Am
The elf-folk is calling me
 
 
[Verse 2]
Am                Bb            G
Tapio, Bear-king, Ruler of the forest
 Am                   Dm
Mielikki, Bluecloak, Healer of the ill and sad
Am                Bb      G         Am
Open the gate and let me follow the uncurving path
 
 
[Chorus]
     C          G
The way to the lands
           Bb      Am
Where as a hero I stand
                F              Dm
The path where Beauty met the Beast
      E
Elvenpath
          C                G
It's the honesty of these worlds
         Bb                 Am
Ruled by magic and mighty swords
               F                 Dm
That makes my soul long for the past
      Am
Elvenpath

[Verse 3]
     Am        Bb           G         Am
The moonwitch took me to a ride on a broomstick
     Dm               F          Am
Introduced me to her old friend Home Gnome
 Bb         G        Am             F
Told me to keep the sauna warm for him
 
 
[Verse 4]
        Am                         Bb         G
At the grove I met the rest - the folk of my fantasies
Am               Dm           F
Bilbo, Sparhawk, goblins and pixies
 Am             Bb                 G
Snowman, Willow -- trolls and the seven dwarves
     Am
The path goes forever on
 
 
[Chorus]
     C          G
The way to the lands
           Bb      Am
Where as a hero I stand
                F              Dm
The path where Beauty met the Beast
      E
Elvenpath
          C                G
It's the honesty of these worlds
         Bb                 Am
Ruled by magic and mighty swords
               F                 Dm
That makes my soul long for the past
      Am

[Story]
(***spoken text***)
Em
- Long ago
              F                  E
In the early years of the second age
          F                                 E
The great elven-smiths forged the Rings of Power
 
 
[Bridge]
Am
- As I return to my room
         Gb                  Am
And as sleep takes me by my hand
      Am
Madrigals from the woods
      Dm          Am
Carry me to neverland
         Am
In this spellbound night
     Gb                Am
The world's an elvish sight
         Am
In this spellbound night
     Dm                E
The world's an elvish sight
 
 
[Outro]
(***spoken text***)
     Em                 F
But then the dark Lord learned
                  Em
The craft of ring-making
              Am
And made the Master Ring
