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:
G#m D#m C#m D#m
