Oh, misty eye of the mountain below
Keep careful watch of my brothers' souls
And should the sky be filled with fire and smoke
Keep watching over Durin's son
Intro: Em Cadd9 D Em 2x

Verse:
              Em     Cadd9
If this is to end in fire
                D        Em
Then we should all burn together
          Em           Cadd9  D      Em
Watch the flames climb high into the night
         Em         Cadd9 D           Cadd9
Calling out for the rope, sent by and we will
           Am         Bm            Cadd9
Watch the flames burn on and on the mountain side

Verse: (same chords as previous until mountain side)
And if we should die tonight
Then we should all die together
Raise a glass of wine for the last time
Calling out for the rope
Prepare as we will
Watch the flames burn on and on the mountain side
    Am     Bm             Cadd9
Desolation comes upon the sky
Chorus: Em Cadd9  D Em
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
(hold Em)
And I hope that you'll remember me

Verse:(same as verse 2)
Oh, should my people fall
Then surely I'll do the same
Confined in mountain halls
We got too close to the flame
Calling out father hold fast and we will
Watch the flames burn on and on the mountain side
Desolation comes upon the sky

Chorus:
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

           Am         Em
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
And with that shadow upon the ground
          Cadd9             D
I hear my people screaming out

Chorus: Em Cadd9 D Em
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

(Same as Chorus)
I see fire, oh you know I saw a city burning (fire)
And I see fire, feel the heat upon my skin (fire)
And I see fire (fire)
And I see fire (burn on and on and mountains side)

Outro:(similar to intro)
