[Intro]

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

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

x
                 Em    G 
And if we should die tonight
x
               D       C 
Then we should all die together
x
        Em       G   D        Am7 
Raise a glass of wine for the last time
x
        Em    G         D          C 
Calling out father, oh, prepare as we will
x
          Am7         G/B           C 
Watch the flames burn auburn on the mountain side
x
    Am7    G/B            C 
Desolation comes upon the sky

[Chorus]
x
x
          Em  C  D          Em 
Now I see fire,  inside the mountain
x
      Em  C  D           Em 
I see fire,  burning the trees
x
          Em  C  D         Em 
And I see fire,  hollowing souls
x
      Em  C  D            Am7 
I see fire,  blood in the breeze
x
  
And I hope that you'll remember me

[Verse]
x
x
              Em     G 
Oh, should my people fall
x
            D           C 
Then surely I'll do the same
x
            Em       G 
Confined in mountain halls
x
           D            Am7 
We got too close to the flame
x
           D            Am7 
We got too close to the flame
x
          Am7         G/B           C 
Watch the flames burn auburn on the mountain side
x
    Am7    G/B            C 
Desolation comes upon the sky

[Chorus]

x
          Em  C  D          Em 
Now I see fire,  inside the mountain
x
      Em  C  D           Em 
I see fire,  burning the trees
x
          Em  C  D         Em 
And I see fire,  hollowing souls
x
      Em  C  D            Am7 
I see fire,  blood in the breeze

[Bridge]
x
x
           Am7      Em 
And if the night is burning
x
       G        D 
I will cover my eyes
x
           Am7    Em 
For if the dark returns then
x
   G             D 
My brothers will die
x
           Am7            Em 
And as the sky is falling down
x
           G                D 
It crashed into this lonely town
x
              Am7 
And with that shadow upon the ground
x
  G/B     C                D 
I hear my people screaming out
+
[Chorus]
x
x
          Em  C  D          Em 
Now I see fire,  inside the mountain
x
      Em  C  D           Em 
I see fire,  burning the trees
x
          Em  C  D         Em 
And I see fire,  hollowing souls
x
      Em  C  D            Em 
I see fire,  blood in the breeze
x
      Em           C                 D        Em 
I see fire, oh you know I saw a city burning (fire)
x
      Em         C                D     Em 
I see fire, feel the heat upon my skin (fire)
x
          Em   C       D  Em 
And I see fire, oooooo (fire)
x
          Em        C             D        Em 
And I see fire burn auburn on the mountain side
