I see fire (video)

Am C G Am

(a capella) Oh, misty eye of the mountain below,

Am C G

keep careful watch of my brothers’ souls.

Am C C G

And should the sky be filled with fire and smoke,

Am C G Am

keep watching over Durin’s sons.

+ Am - F - G - Am (2x)

Am C G F

1. If this is to end in fire, then we shall all burn together,

Am C G Dm

watch the flames climb higher, into the night.

Am C G F

Calling out father, oh, stand by and we will,

Dm Em F G

watch the flames burn on and on the mountainside.

+ Am - F - G - Am

Am C G F

2. And if we should die tonight, we should all die together,

Am C - G Dm

raise a glass of wine, for the last time.

Am C G F

Calling out, father, oh, prepare as we will,

Dm Em F G

watch the flames burn on and on the mountainside.

Dm Em F - G

Desolation comes upon the sky.

Am - F G Am

Now I see fire inside the mountain,

Am - F G Am

I see fire burning the trees.

Am - F G Am

And I see fire, hollowing souls.

Am - F G Dm

I see fire, blood in the breeze.

Dm

+ And I’ll hope that you’ll remember me. + Am - F - G - Am (2x)

Am C G F

3. Oh, should my people fall then, surely, I’ll do the same.

Am C G Dm

confined in mountain halls, we got too close to the flame.

Am C G F

Calling out, father, oh, hold fast and we will,

Dm Em F G

watch the flames burn on and on the mountainside.

Dm Em F - G

Desolation comes upon the sky.

Dm

+ CHORUS + And I’ll hope that you’ll remember me.

Dm Am C G

+ And if the night is burning, I will cover my eyes,

Dm Am C G

for if the dark returns, then my brothers will die.

Dm Am C G

And as the sky is falling down, it crashed into this lonely town,

Dm

and with that shadow upon the ground,

F G

I hear my people screaming out. + CHORUS (ending in a !)

Am F G Am

+ I see fire, oh, you know I saw a city burning, fire,

Am F G Am

and I see fire, feel the heat upon my skin, fire.

Am F - G Am

And I see fire, oo...oh, fire,

Am F G Am

and I see fire burn on and on the mountainside.
