[Intro]
N.C.
Oh misty eye of the Mountain below,
N.C.             (Plug open E and let ring)
Keep careful watch of my brothers’ souls,
And should the sky be filled with fire and smoke,
                             Em
Keep watching over Durins son.

[Verse]
              Em     G
If this is to end in fire
              D        C
Then we shall all burn together
          Em           G    D        Am7
Watch the flames climb high into the night
        Em    G     D            C
Calling out father, stand by and we will
          Am7         Bm            C
Watch the flames burn auburn on the mountain side

                 Em    G
And if we should die tonight
               D       C
Then we should all die together
        Em       G   D        Am7
Raise a glass of wine for the last time
        Em    G     D          C
Calling out father, prepare as we will
          Am7         Bm            C
Watch the flames burn auburn on the mountain side
    Am7    Bm             C
Desolation comes upon the sky
 
[Chorus]
          Em  C  D          Em
Now I see fire,  inside the mountain
      Em  C  D           Em
I see fire,  burning the trees
          Em  C  D         Em
And I see fi____re,  hollowing souls
      Em  C  D            Am7
I see fi____re,  blood in the breeze
Am7
And I hope that you'll remember me

[Verse]
              Em     G
Oh, should my people fall then
       D           C
surely I'll do the same
            Em       G
Confined in mountain halls We
        D            Am7
got too close to the flame
        Em     G   D             C
Calling out father hold fast and we will
          Am7         Bm            C
Watch the flames burn auburn on the mountain side
    Am7    Bm             C
Desolation comes upon the sky
 
[Chorus]
          Em  C  D          Em
Now I see fire,  inside the mountain
      Em  C  D           Em
I see fire,  burning the trees
          Em  C  D         Em
And I see fire,  hollowing souls
      Em  C  D            Am7
I see fire,  blood in the breeze
                                Am7 (begin strumming here)
And I hope that you'll remember me
 
[Bridge]
           Em       G
And if the night is burning I
     D        C
will cover my eyes
           Em     G
For if the dark returns then my
D             Am7
brothers will die
           Em            G
And as the sky's falling down it
        D                C
crashed into this lonely town and
          Am7
with that shadow upon the ground I
Bm      C                D
hear my people screaming out
 
[Chorus]
          Em  C  D          Em
Now I see fire,  inside the mountain
      Em  C  D           Em
I see fire,  burning the trees
          Em  C  D         Em
And I see fire,  hollowing souls
      Em  C  D            Em
I see fire,  blood in the breeze
 
      Em      C                      D        Em
I see fire, oh you know I saw a city burning (fire)
      Em    C                     D     Em
I see fire, feel the heat upon my skin (fire)
          Em   C       D  Em
And I see fire, oooooo (fire)
          Em        C             D        Em
And I see fire burn auburn on the mountain side
