INTRO

Oh, misty eye of the mountain below Keep careful watch of my brothers' souls And should the sky be filled with fire and smoke                            Em 
Keep watching over Durin's sons

[Verse 1]
              Em     G
If this is to end in fire
               D        C
Then we should all burn together
          Em           G    D        Am7
Watch the flames climb high into the night
        Em    G         D            C
Calling out father, oh, stand by and we will
          Am7         G/B           C
Watch the flames burn auburn on the mountain side

[Verse 2]
                 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, oh, prepare as we will
          Am7         G/B           C
Watch the flames burn auburn on the mountain side
    Am7    G/B            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
 
And I hope that you'll remember me

[Verse 3]
              Em     G
Oh, should my people fall
            D           C
Then surely I'll do the same
            Em       G
Confined in mountain halls
           D            Am7
We got too close to the flame
        Em     G        D             C
Calling out father, oh, hold fast and we will
          Am7         G/B           C
Watch the flames burn auburn on the mountain side
    Am7    G/B            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
And I hope that you'll remember me
 
[Bridge]
           Am7      Em
And if the night is burning
       G        D
I will cover my eyes
           Am7    Em
For if the dark returns then
   G             D
My brothers will die
           Am7            Em
And as the sky is falling down
           G                D
It crashed into this lonely town
              Am7
And with that shadow upon the ground
  G/B     C                D
I 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
