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 Emson

[Verse]
If this is to Emend in Gfire
Then we shall Dall burn Ctogether
Watch the Emflames climb Ghigh Dinto the Am7night
Calling Emout faGther, Dstand by and Cwe will
Watch the Am7flames burn G/Bauburn on the mCountain side
[Intro tab]
And if we should Emdie toGnight
Then we should Dall die Ctogether
Raise a Emglass of Gwine Dfor the Am7last time
Calling Emout faGther, Dprepare as Cwe will
Watch the Am7flames burn G/Bauburn on the mCountain side
DesoAm7lation G/Bcomes upon the sCky
[Chorus]
Now I see EmfireC, Dinside the Emmountain
I see EmfireC, Dburning the Emtrees
And I see EmfireC, Dhollowing Emsouls
I see EmfireC, Dblood in the Am7breeze
And I hope that you'll remember me
[Intro] (x2)
[Verse]
Oh, should my Empeople Gfall
Then surely DI'll do the Csame
Confined in Emmountain Ghalls
We got too Dclose to the Am7flame
Calling Emout fatGher Dhold fast and Cwe will
Watch the Am7flames burn G/Bauburn on the mCountain side
DesoAm7lation G/Bcomes upon the sCky
[Chorus]
Now I see EmfireC, Dinside the Emmountain
I see EmfireC, Dburning the Emtrees
And I see EmfireC, Dhollowing Emsouls
I see EmfireC, Dblood in the Am7breeze
And I hope that you'll remember Am7me
[Bridge]
And if the Amnight is Emburning
I will Gcover my Deyes
For if the Amdark reEmturns then
My Gbrothers will Ddie
And as the Amsky's falling Emdown
It crashed Ginto this lonely Dtown
And with that Am7shadow upon the ground
I G/Bhear my pCeople screaming oDut
[Chorus]
Now I see EmfireC, Dinside the Emmountain
I see EmfireC, Dburning the Emtrees
And I see EmfireC, Dhollowing Emsouls
I see EmfireC, Dblood in the Embreeze
I see Emfire, oh you Cknow I saw a city Dburning (Emfire)
I see Emfire, feel Cthe heat upon my Dskin (Emfire)
And I see Emfire, Coooooo D(fiEmre)
And I see Emfire burn Cauburn on the Dmountain Emside
