Capo on 1st
[INTRO: Without Music]
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 sons.
Am F G Am
Am F G Am
[VERSE 1]
Am C
If this is to end in fire,
G Dm
Then we shall all burn together,
Am C
Watch the flames climb higher,
G Dm
Into the night.

Calling out father oh,

Stand by and we will,
Dm Em
Watch the flames burn auburn on
F G
The mountainside,
Am F G Am
[VERSE 2]
Am C
And if we should die tonight,
G Dm
We should all die together.

Raise a glass of wine,
G Dm
For the last time.
Am C
Calling out father oh,
G F
Prepare as we will,
Dm Em
Watch the flames burn auburn on
F G
The mountainside.
Dm Em F G
Desolation comes upon the sky.
[CHORUS 1]
Am F
Now I see fire,

Inside the mountain.

I see fire,
G Am
Burning the trees.
Am F
And I see fire,
G Am
Hollowing souls.

I see fire,
G Dm
Blood in the breeze.
And I’ll hope that you’ll remember me.
Am F G Am
[VERSE 3]
Am C
Oh should my people fall then,
G Dm
Surely I’ll do the same.
Am C
Confined in mountain halls,
G Dm
We got too close to the flame.
Am C
Calling out father oh,
G F
Hold fast and we will,
Dm Em
Watch the flames burn auburn on
F G
The mountainside.
Dm Em F G
Desolation comes upon the sky.
[CHORUS 2]
Am F
Now I see fire,
G Am
Inside the mountain.

I see fire,
G Am
Burning the trees.
Am F
And I see fire,
G Am
Hollowing souls.

I see fire,
G Dm
Blood in the breeze.
And I’ll hope that you’ll remember me.
[BRIDGE]
Dm Am
And if the night is burning,
C G
I will cover my eyes,
Dm Am
For if the dark returns,
C G
Then my brothers will die.
Dm Am
And as the sky is falling down,
C G
It crashed into this lonely town.
Dm C
And with that shadow upon the ground,
F G
I hear my people screaming out.
[CHORUS 3]
Am F
And, I see fire,
G Am
Inside the mountain.
Am F
I see fire,
G Am
Burning the trees.
Am F
And I see fire,
G Am
Hollowing souls.
Am F
I see fire,
G Am
Blood in the breeze.
Am
I see fire,
F G
(Oh you know I saw a city burning.)
Am
Fire.
Am
And I see fire
F G
(Feel the heat upon my skin.)
Am
Fire.
Am
And I see fire,
F G
ooooooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhh
Am
Fire.
Am F
And I see fire burn auburn on,
G Am
The mountainside.
