Verse 1:
        F                 G
Can you see the half-moon rising?
         F               Dm
From the sea so dark and wide
      F               G
Far beyond the east horizon
        C      Dm     G
Lies an island on the tide
          F                 G
Where the land was fair and plenty
        F         C      G
And the queen was fairer still
        F                 G     Dm
And she walked beside her noble king
       C        Dm    G
On the green of Rysen Hill

Verse 2:
        F                G
Did you see the old moon sinkin'
       F               Dm
On the sea so dark and wild
      F                   G
Far beyond, the waves are breakin'
       C             Dm      G
On the shores of the Shining Isle
        F                   G
But the forest's burned and blackened
        F       C       G
And the land is ash and flame
        F               G  Dm
And thе king, they say, is fallen
        C      Dm      G
And his Warden brothеr slain

Verse 3:
        F                  G
But the half-moon light is given
     F              Dm
By a sun no eye can see
        F                G     Dm
And the day will conquer night again
        C      Dm     G
By the Maker's good decree
      F                   G
And beneath the smoke and ruin
        F       C      G
Lo, the land is fertile still
      F                 G     Dm
And a king one day will sing again
       C        Dm    G
On the green of Rysen Hill
