Finrod's part is complex! It's in short snatches, and most of it rhymes. There's an Elven minstrel for you! I am putting down both of his full stanzas, as it turns out that the scheme is different! From which I conclude that only the bolded parts need to rhyme in this particular order, the rest have to rhyme somehow amongst themselves. The Russian is for my reference, so that I don't get lost as to which rhyme is which. I wish there was a way to put them alongside each other, but the Downs doesn't allow me to tabs or columns.

The first (---) division I have is for format purposes only, it flows right though when you sing it. The second, however, is an actual break in the music, dividing the main verse from the final ABAB.


A (dopeto)
B (predskazaniy)
A (obety)
E (slov)
B (opravdaniy)
D (oprave)
E (vetrov)
E (surov)
D (otravy)
E (lyubov)

---- ***this section below is different by 1 line
- (skal)
E (beregov)
E (ldov)
D (slavoy)
F (otvet)
F (net)
D (travy)

E (okov)
--- *** this one is the stand-alone at the end
N (arbalet)
M (tetivu)
N (sled)
Mx2 (zvuk)




- (zabvenya)
B (runy)
C (liry)
D (let)
B (yunost)
C (mira)
D (rassvet)
D (net)
C (siloy)
D (bed)

--- ***this section below is different by 1 line, but has same cords except for that line. GFFGF corresponds to DFFDE above.
- (jiva)
F (nezamutnyon)
G (navety)
F (son)
F (zakon)
G (svetom)

F (nebosklon)
--- *** this one is the stand-alone at the end
N (byloy)
M (luny)
N (svoy)
Mx2 (ravny)



^first I noticed that my "E" in the 2nd verse was a no-rhyme and took it out, now realized that "A" is also a no-rhyme. Then realized "C" and "E" are identical in verse 1. But I won't go shifting the whole alphabet.


Ok, now that I've gone through it, I realize there are more bolded parts than I initially thought. There still might be some flexibility in what rhymes with what though. We'd have to experiment.
