Oh, misty eye of the mountain below,
Keep careful watch of my brother’s souls.
And should the sky be filled with fire and smoke,
A#
Keep watching over Durin’s sons.
A#m C#
If this is to end in fire,
G# F#
Then we should all burn together,
A#m C#
Watch the flames burn higher,
G# D#
Into the night,
A#m C#
Calling out for the rope,
G# F#
Stand by and we will
D#m7 C#
Watch the flames burn auburn on
F#
The mountain side, ay.
A#m C#
And if we should die tonight,
G# F#
We should all die together,
A#m C#
Raise a glass of wine
G# D#m7
For the last time.
A#m C#
Calling out for the rope,
G# F#
Prepare as we will
D#m7 C#
Watch the flames burn auburn on
F#
The mountain side.
D#m7 C# F# G#
Desolation comes upon the sky.
Chorus:
A#m F#
Now I see fire
G# A#m
Inside the mountain,
F#
I see fire
G# A#m
Burning the trees
F#
And I see fire
G# A#m
Hollowing souls,
F#
I see fire,
G# D#7
Blood in the breeze.
And I hope that you remember me.
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 for the rope,
Hold fast and we will
Watch the flames burn auburn 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,
I see fire,
Blood in the breeze.
And I hope that you remember me.
D#7 D#m7 A#m
And if the night is burning,
C# G#
I will cover my eyes,
D#m7 A#m
For if the dark returns
C# G#
Then my brothers will die.
D#m7 A#m
And as the sky is falling down
C# G#
It crashed into this lonely town
D#m7
And with that shadow upon the ground,
C# F# G#
I hear my people screaming out.
Chorus:
A#m F#
And I see fire
G# A#m
Inside the mountain,
F#
I see fire
G# A#m
Burning the trees,
F#
I see fire
G# A#m
Hollowing souls,
F#
I see fire,
G# A#m
Blood in the breeze.
A#m
I see fire,
F# G# A#m
Oh, you know I saw a city burn, (Fire.)
And I see fire,
F# G# A#m
Feel the heat upon my skin, (Fire.)
F# G# A#m
And I see fire, ooh. (Fire.)
And I see fire
F#
Burn auburn on
G# A#m
The mountain side.
