[Verse 1]
 
    Am            G Am           C    Am              G     Am   C
The Queen of Light  took her bow, and then she turned to go
    Am             G  Am               C    Am               G    Am   C
The Prince of Peace embraced the gloom, and walked the night alone
 
D
(Oh, dance in the dark of night, sing to the morning light)
    Am              G  Am           C    Am             G  Am   C
The Dark Lord rides in force tonight and time will tell us all
 
 D
(Oh, throw down your plow and hoe, rest not to lock your homes)
Am          G   Am            C       Am         G     Am   C
Side by side we wait the might of the darkest of them all

[Chorus 1]
 
A7            D               A7                    D
   I hear the horses thunder, down in the valley below
G7                    C                 G7                      C
  I'm waiting for the angels of Avalon, waiting for the eastern glow
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
    Am        G   Am         C    Am           G  Am   C
The apples of the valley hold the seeds of happiness
    Am             G    Am         C   Am          G  Am   C
The ground is rich from tender care, repay, do not forget
 
D
(Oh, dance in the dark of night, sing to the morning light)
    Am         G   Am              C    Am            G  Am   C
The apples turn to brown and black, the tyrant's face is red
 
D
(Oh, war is the common cry, pick up your swords and fly)
    Am           G     Am          C     Am        G   Am    C
The sky is filled with good and bad that mortals never know
 
|D   |  %  |  %  |  %  |Am   G |Am   C |Am   G |Am   C |
(oh-oh-h)
 
 
[Chorus 2]
 
A7              D                  A7                 D
   Oh well, the night is long, the beads of time pass slow
G7                   C       G7                      C
  Tired eyes on the sunrise, waiting for the eastern glow
 
 
[Verse 3]
 
    Am         G   Am        C    Am           G  Am    C
The pain of war cannot exceed the woe of th' aftermath
    Am              G    Am          C    Am               G  Am      C
The drums will shake the castle wall, the Ringwraiths ride in black, ride..
 
D
  ...on (Sing as you raise your bow, shoot straighter than before)
   Am         G    Am           C     Am              G  Am   C
No comfort has the fire at night that lights the face so cold
 
D
(Oh, dance in the dark of night, sing to the morning light)
    Am         G    Am          C   Am           G    Am          C
The magic runes are writ in gold to bring the balance back, bring it back
 
|D   |  %  |  %  |  %  |Am   G |Am   C |Am   G |Am   C |
 
 
[Chorus 3]
 
A7             D                   A7                  D
   At last the sun is shining, the clouds of blue roll by
G7                     C                      G7              C
  With flames from the dragon of darkness the sunlight blinds his eyes

On "I hear the horses, down in the valley below" I believe it is A7 instead of C. Give that a try.

looks and sounds good to me. my only question is: why has a song that has been around since the dawn of time, covered VERY well by the love mongers and been played by countless garage bands only have 4 comments and 34 ratings? very odd.
