    I See Fire Chords/Lyrics/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,
    Keep watching over Durin’s sons.

    Am    F    G    Am
    Am    F    G    Am

    I See Fire Chords/Lyrics/Verse 

                      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,
    G                     F
    Stand by and we will,
                     Dm              Em
    Watch the flames burn on and on,
            F              G
    The mountainside,

    Am      F     G     Am

    I See Fire Chords/Lyrics/Verse 2

                                Am    C
    And if we should die tonight,
                       G         Dm
    We should all die together.
                    Am       C
    Raise a glass of wine,
    G           Dm
    For the last time.
                Am            C
    Calling out father oh,
          G               F
    Prepare as we will,
                         Dm          Em
    Watch the flames burn on and on,
             F           G
    The mountainside.
             Dm    Em                      F      G
    Desolation comes upon the sky.

    I See Fire Chords/Lyrics/Chorus

                      Am      F
    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.
        Am     F
    I see fire,
    G                    Dm
    Blood in the breeze.

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

    Am     F     G     Am

    I See Fire Chords/Lyrics/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 on and on,
            F                G
    The mountainside.
            Dm        Em                   F      G
    Desolation comes upon the sky.

    I See Fire Chords/Lyrics/Chorus

                      Am      F
    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.
        Am     F
    I see fire,
    G                    Dm
    Blood in the breeze.

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

    I See Fire Chords/Lyrics/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.

    I See Fire Chords/Lyrics/Chorus

                  Am     F
    And, 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.
             Am       F
    I see fire,
    G                 Am
    Blood in the breeze.
             Am
    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
    Fire.
                    Am           F
    And I see fire burn on and on,
            G             Am
    The mountainside.
