[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.
        Am        C
Calling out father oh,
G            F
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.
        Am       C
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,
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            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.
      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            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.

Auburn instead of "on and on" Watch the flames burn auburn On the mountainside. Otherwise good for Capo 1.

This is almost perfect, but I think the bridge is slightly off. This is how I'm playing the bridge: Am C And if the night is burning, G F I will cover my eyes, Am C For if the dark returns, G Dm Then my brothers will die. Am C And as the sky is falling down, G F It crashed into this lonely town. Dm Em And with that shadow upon the ground, F G I hear my people screaming out.
