[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.

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,

Stand by and we will,

Watch the flames burn auburn on

The mountainside,
[Am] [F] [G] [Am]

And if we should die tonight,

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,

Watch the flames burn auburn on

The mountainside.

Desolation comes upon the sky.

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.

I see fire,
[G] [Dm]
Blood in the breeze.
And I’ll hope that you’ll remember me.

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.

Desolation comes upon the sky.

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.

Hollowing souls.

I see fire,
[G] [Am]
Blood in the breeze.

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]

And I see fire burn auburn on,
[G] [Am]
The mountainside.
