Rings

TTTO: Things
      by Bobby Darin

Ev'ry night I sat there in Dol Guldur, (Guldur)
Starin' at that Misty Mountain view, (mountain view)
Counting fingers on my hands while cursin' (cursin')
And thinkin' about the rings I used to use.

    CHORUS:
    (Thinkin' of rings) With their simple rune marks,
    (Rings) A sword thrust at The Dark.
    (Rings) That the elf-lords hide.
    (yeah-yeah) What about the nine I fried?
    Rings and those solemn vows,
    Rings that I don't have now.
    Thinkin' about the rings I used to use.

I've suspicions that the Dwarves are plotting (plotting)
And "Gollum" needs a lengthy talkin'-to. (talkin'-to)
When I'm not thinkin' of-a just how much I'll hurt him,
(hurt him)
Well, I'm thinkin' about the rings I used to use.

    [CHORUS]

I imagine war horns sharply brayin' (brayin')
And I'd like one chance to flay Isildur's brood.
(Isildur's brood)
When oppression fills the land
And there's nowhere you can stand
Well, it's-a just me thinkin' of the rings I used to use.

    [CHORUS]

And this "Gollum" needs a lengthy talkin'-to.
He's got me thinkin' of the rings I used to use.
Starin' at that Misty Mountain view.
