A minorAm
Far over the misty mountains cold
A minorAm C majorC A minorAm
To dungeons deep and caverns old
C majorC G7G7 A minorAm
We must away ere break of day
A minorAm C majorC A minorAm
To seek the pale enchanted gold.
A minorAm
The dwarves of yore made mighty spells,
A minorAm C majorC A minorAm
While hammers fell like ringing bells
C majorC G7G7 A minorAm
In places deep, where dark things sleep,
A minorAm C majorC A minorAm
In hollow halls beneath the fells.
A minorAm
For ancient king and elvish lord
A minorAm C majorC A minorAm
There many a gleaming golden hoard
C majorC G7G7 A minorAm
They shaped and wrought, and light they caught
A minorAm C majorC A minorAm
To hide in gems on hilt of sword.
A minorAm
On silver necklaces they strung
A minorAm C majorC A minorAm
The flowering stars, on crowns they hung
C majorC G7G7 A minorAm
The dragon-fire, in twisted wire
A minorAm C majorC A minorAm
They meshed the light of moon and sun.
A minorAm
Far over the misty mountains cold.
A minorAm C majorC A minorAm
To dungeons deep and caverns old
C majorC G7G7 A minorAm
We must away, ere break of day,
A minorAm C majorC A minorAm
To claim our long-forgotten gold.
A minorAm
Goblets they carved there for themselves
A minorAm C majorC A minorAm
And harps of gold; where no man delves
C majorC G7G7 A minorAm
There lay they long, and many a song
A minorAm C majorC A minorAm
Was sung unheard by men or elves.
A minorAm
The pines were roaring on the height,
A minorAm C majorC A minorAm
The winds were moaning in the night.
C majorC G7G7 A minorAm
The fire was red, it flAmng spread;
A minorAm C majorC A minorAm
The trees like torches blazed with light.
A minorAm
The bells were ringing in the dale
A minorAm C majorC A minorAm
And men they looked up with faces pale;
C majorC G7G7 A minorAm
The dragon's ire more fierce than fire
A minorAm C majorC A minorAm
Laid low their towers and houses frail.
A minorAm
The mountain smoked beneath the moon;
A minorAm C majorC A minorAm
The dwarves they heard the tramp of doom.
C majorC G7G7 A minorAm
They fled their hall to dying fall
A minorAm C majorC A minorAm
Beneath his feet, beneath the moon.

Song of Durin:
A minorAm G+G A minorAm
The world was young, the mountains green,
A minorAm G+G A minorAm
No stain yet on the Moon was seen,
A minorAm G+G C majorC
No words were laid on stream or stone
F/Fmaj G+G A minorAm
When Durin woke and walked alone.
A minorAm G+G C majorC
He named the nameless hills and dells;
A minorAm C majorC F/Fmaj G+G
He drank from yet untasted wells;
A minorAm C majorC F/Fmaj C majorC
He stooped and looked in Mirrormere,
F/Fmaj C majorC F/Fmaj G+G
And saw a crown of stars appear,
A minorAm G+G A minorAm
As gems upon a silver thread,
A minorAm G+G A minorAm
Above the shadows of his head.
A minorAm G+G A minorAm
The world is grey, the mountains old,
A minorAm G+G A minorAm
The forge's fire is ashen-cold;
A minorAm G+G C majorC
No harp is wrung, no hammer falls:
F/Fmaj G+G A minorAm
The darkness dwells in Durin's halls;
A minorAm G+G C majorC
The shadow lies upon his tomb
A minorAm C majorC G+G
In Moria, in Khazad-dûm.
A minorAm C majorC F/Fmaj C majorC
But still the sunken stars appear
F/Fmaj C majorC F/Fmaj G+G
In dark and windless Mirrormere;
A minorAm G+G A minorAm
There lies his crown in water deep,
A minorAm G+G A minorAm
Till Durin wakes again from sleep.

Part 2:
A minorAm
Far over the misty mountains grim
A minorAm C majorC A minorAm
To dungeons deep and caverns dim
C majorC G7G7 A minorAm
We must away, ere break of day,
A minorAm C majorC A minorAm
To win our harps and gold from him!
A minorAm
The wind was on the withered heath,
A minorAm C majorC A minorAm
But in the forest stirred no leaf:
C majorC G7G7 A minorAm
There shadows lay by night and day,
A minorAm C majorC A minorAm
And dark things silent crept beneath.
A minorAm
The wind came down from mountains cold,
A minorAm C majorC A minorAm
And like a tide it roared and rolled.
C majorC G7G7 A minorAm
The branches groaned, the forest moaned,
A minorAm C majorC A minorAm
And leaves were laid upon the mould.
A minorAm
The wind went on from West to East;
A minorAm C majorC A minorAm
All movement in the forest ceased.
C majorC G7G7 A minorAm
But shrill and harsh across the marsh
A minorAm C majorC A minorAm
Its whistling voices were released.
A minorAm
The grasses hissed, their tassels bent,
A minorAm C majorC A minorAm
The reeds were rattling, on it went.
C majorC G7G7 A minorAm
O'er shaken pool under heavens cool,
A minorAm C majorC A minorAm
Where racing clouds were torn and rent.
A minorAm
It passed the Lonely Mountain bare,
A minorAm C majorC A minorAm
And swept above the dragon's lair:
C majorC G7G7 A minorAm
There black and dark lay boulders stark,
A minorAm C majorC A minorAm
And flying smoke was in the air.
A minorAm
It left the world and took its flight
A minorAm C majorC A minorAm
Over the wide seas of the night.
C majorC G7G7 A minorAm
The moon set sail upon the gale,
A minorAm C majorC A minorAm
And stars were fanned to leaping light.
A minorAm
Under the Mountain dark and tall
A minorAm C majorC A minorAm
The King has come unto his hall!
C majorC G7G7 A minorAm
His foe is dead, the Worm of Dread,
A minorAm C majorC A minorAm
And ever so his foes shall fall!
A minorAm
The sword is sharp, the spear is long,
A minorAm C majorC A minorAm
The arrow swift, the Gate is strong;
C majorC G7G7 A minorAm
The heart is bold that looks on gold;
A minorAm C majorC A minorAm
The dwarves no more shall suffer wrong.
A minorAm
The dwarves of yore made mighty spells,
A minorAm C majorC A minorAm
While hammers fell like ringing bells
C majorC G7G7 A minorAm
In places deep, where dark things sleep,
A minorAm C majorC A minorAm
In hollow halls beneath the fells.
A minorAm
On silver necklaces they strung
A minorAm C majorC A minorAm
The light of stars, on crowns they hung
C majorC G7G7 A minorAm
The dragon-fire, from twisted wire
A minorAm C majorC A minorAm
The melody of harps they wrung.
A minorAm
The mountain throne once more is freed!
A minorAm C majorC A minorAm
O! Wandering folk, the summons heed!
C majorC G7G7 A minorAm
Come haste! Come haste! Across the waste!
A minorAm C majorC A minorAm
The king of friend and kin has need.
A minorAm
Now we call over the mountains cold,
A minorAm C majorC A minorAm
'Come back unto the caverns old!'
C majorC G7G7 A minorAm
Here at the Gates the king awaits,
A minorAm C majorC A minorAm
His hands are rich with gems and gold.
A minorAm
The king has come unto his hall
A minorAm C majorC A minorAm
Under the Mountain dark and tall.
C majorC G7G7 A minorAm
The Worm of Dread is slain and dead,
A minorAm C majorC A minorAm
And ever so our foes shall fall!
A minorAm
Farewell we call to hearth and hall,
A minorAm C majorC A minorAm
Though wind may blow and rain may fall,
C majorC G7G7 A minorAm
We must away, ere break of day
A minorAm C majorC A minorAm
Far over the wood and mountain tall.
A minorAm
To Rivendell, where Elves yet dwell
A minorAm C majorC A minorAm
In glades beneath the misty fell.
C majorC G7G7 A minorAm
Through moor and waste we ride in haste
A minorAm C majorC A minorAm
And whither then we cannot tell.
A minorAm
With foes ahead, behind us dread,
A minorAm C majorC A minorAm
Beneath the sky shall be our bed,
C majorC G7G7 A minorAm
Until at last our toil be passed,
A minorAm C majorC A minorAm
Our journey done, our errand sped.
We must away! We must away!
We ride before the break of day!
