Verse 1:
G#m    D#m
Out in the distance
    C#m   D#m
There's so much gold
  G#m      D#m
The treasure that I've found
  C#m    D#m
Is more than enough
F#            D#m
Far to the hill we've to go

Chorus 1:
G#m D#m   C#m      D#m
Ooo-ver the mountains and seas
G#m    D#m
To the old hill
     C#m    D#m
Where the old dragon sleeps
E F#     F#       G#m
Blind in the dark dungeon's night
  E     F#    D#m   G#m
So God please take me away from here
  E   F#    D#m    G#m
And Gollum shows the way right out

Verse 2:
  C#m  B       C#m     B
The dying dragon brought trouble and pain
  A       B    C#m
And horror to the halls of stone
C#m B    C#m
I'll take the mighty stone
B  C#m    B
And leave the dwarfs (behind)
C#m   B    C#m    B
Ice and fire and forest we passed
  A       B    C#m
And horror in the halls of stone

Verse 3:
G#m      F#
Trolls in the dark
  D#m      G#m
The dawn took them all
G#m      F#
Caught in the wood
    F#      G#m
By the wooden king's men
  G#m   F#
But now I'm alone
      D#m    G#m
'Cause I've made up my mind

Chorus 2:
G#m D#m C#m   D#m
By the spell of gold
  G#m      D#m
The king under the mountain
   C#m      D#m
Will risk the great war
E     F#
Oh what a fool
   D#m    G#m
He's losing control
  E  F#    D#m  G#m
So I am trying to find a way
E F#    D#m      G#m
Blind in the dark dungeon's night
   E    F#       D#m   G#m
Then darkness comes from the northern side
  E   F#     D#m G#m
And Thorin clears his mii-ind

Outro:
