– Capo 1st fret
Am
Oh, misty eye of the mountain below
G
Keep careful watch of my brothers’ souls
Dm
And should the sky be filled with fire and smoke
Am
Keep watching over Durin’s sons
Am C
If this is to end in fire
G F
Then we should all burn together
Am C G D
Watch the flames climb high into the night
Am C
Calling out father oh
G F
Stand by and we will
Dm Em
Watch the flames burn auburn on
F
The mountain side
Am – F – G – Am
Am C
And if we should die tonight
G F
Then we should all die together
Am C G D
Raise a glass of wine for the last time
Am C
Calling out father oh
G F
Prepare as we will
Dm Em
Watch the flames burn auburn on
F
The mountain side
Dm Em F
Desolation comes upon the sky
Am F
Now I see fire
G Am
Inside the mountain
Am F
I see fire
G Am
Burning the trees
Am F
And I see fire
G Am
Hollowing souls
Am F
I see fire
G D
Blood in the breeze
And I hope that you remember me
Am – F – G – Am x2
Am C
Oh, should my people fall
G F
Then surely I’ll do the same
Am C
Confined in mountain halls
G D
We got too close to the flame
Am C
Calling out father oh
G F
Hold fast and we will
Dm Em
Watch the flames burn auburn on
F
The mountain side
Dm Em F
Desolation comes upon the sky
Am F
Now I see fire
G Am
Inside the mountain
Am F
I see fire
G Am
Burning the trees
Am F
I see fire
G Am
Hollowing souls
Am F
I see fire
G D
Blood in the breeze
And I hope that you remember me
Dm Am
And if the night is burning
C G
I will cover my eyes
Dm Am C G
For if the dark returns then my brothers will die
Dm Am
And as the sky is falling down
C G
It crashed into this lonely town
Dm
And with that shadow upon the ground
F G
I hear my people screaming out
Am F
Now I see fire
G Am
Inside the mountain
Am F
I see fire
G Am
Burning the trees
Am F
I see fire
G Am
Hollowing souls
Am F
I see fire
G D
Blood in the breeze
I see fire (oh you know I saw a city burning out) (fire)
And I see fire (feel the heat upon my skin, yeah) (fire)
And I see fire (uh-uh-uh-uh) (fire)
And I see fire burn auburn on the mountain side
