Oh, misty eye of the mountain below
Keep careful watch of my brothers’ souls
And should the sky be filled with fire and smoke
Em
Keep watching over Durin’s sons

Em G
If this is to end in fire
D C
Then we shall all burn together
Em G D Am
Watch the flames climb high into the night
Em G D C
Calling out father, oh, stand by and we will
Am Bm
Watch the flames burn auburn on
C
The mountain side
(riff)x2
Em G
And if we should die tonight
D C
Then we should all die together
Em G D Am
Raise a glass of wine for the last time
Em G
Calling out father, oh,
D C
Prepare as we will
Am Bm
Watch the flames burn auburn on
C
The mountain side
Am Bm C
Desolation comes upon the sky
Em C
Now I see fire
D Em
Inside the mountain
Em C
I see fire
D Em
Burning the trees
Em C
And I see fire
D Em
Hollowing souls
Em C
And I see fire
D Am
Blood in the breeze
And I hope that you’ll remember me
(Em C D Em)(x2)
Em G
Oh, should my people fall then
D C
Surely I’ll do the same
Em G
Confined in mountain halls
D C
We got too close to the flame
Em G
Calling out father, oh,
D C
Hold fast and we will
Am Bm
Watch the flames burn auburn on
C
The mountain side
Am Bm C
Desolation comes upon the sky

Now I see fire

Inside the mountain

I see fire

Burning the trees

And I see fire

Hollowing souls

And I see fire

Blood in the breeze
And I hope that you’ll remember me

And if the night is burning
G D
I will cover my eyes
Am Em
For if the dark returns then
G D
My brothers will die
Am Em
And as the sky’s falling down
G D
It crashed into this lonely town
Am Bm
And with that shadow upon the ground
C D
I hear my people screaming out
Em C
Now I see fire
D Em
Inside the mountain
Em C
I see fire
D Em
Burning the trees
Em C
And I see fire
D Em
Hollowing souls
Em C
And I see fire
D Am
Blood in the breeze
Em C D Em
I see fire (oh you know I saw a city burn) fire
Em C D Em
I see fire (feel the heat upon my skin) fire
Em C D Em
I see fire (Oooohh) fire
Em C D Em
And I see fire burn on auburn on the mountain side
