Oh, mis-ty eye of the moun-tain be-low

Keep care-ful watch of my bro-ther's soul		
-6     7  -8    8   -8 7   7   -8    -8					
And should the sk-y be filled with		
 -6    7   -8  8 -10 9  -8      7								
Fi-re and smo-ke						
8  -8  7   7  -7								
Keep wat-ching ov-er Du-u-rin's sons

(First Verse)				
If this is to end in fire

Then we should all burn to-ge-ther			
 4   4     5    5   -4  4  4   3				
Watch the flames climb hi-gh in-to the ni-ght	
  4    5     5     4   -4 5  -3 -3 -3  4   3
Cal-ling our fa-ther oh stand by and we will
 4   6    6  -4  -4  5   -4   -4 -4  5   4	
Watch the flames burn au-burn on the moun-tain side

(Second Verse)
And if we should die to-night			
 4  4  4    5     5  4   -4			
We should all die to-ge-ther				
4    5     5  -4  4  4   3						
Raise a glass of wine for the last time
  4   5   5   4   -4  -3  -3   4    3			
Cal-ling out fa-ther oh pre-pare as we will	
 4   6    6  -4  -4  5  -4   -4  -4 5   4		
Watch the flames burn au-burn on the moun-tain side

(Chorus)		
Now I see fire in-side the moun-tain		
 7  7  8   8   -8  -8  -8   7    -6					
I see fire burn-ing the tre-es			
7  8   8    -8  -8  -8  8   7							
And I see fire hol-low-ing so-uls		
 7  7  8   8   -8  -8  -8   8  7 				
I see fi-i-i-re blood in the breeze		
7  8  8 -8-9 8   -7   -7 -7    7		
And I hope that you'll re-mem-ber me		
-6  8  8    -8   -8    7   7  -6  -6		
								
(Third Verse)
Oh should my peo-ple fall then			
-5   4    5   5   4   -4   4						
Sure-ly I'll do the same				
 4   5   5   -4  4   4							
Con-fined in moun-tain halls					
 3    4   5   5    4	-4					
We got too close to the flame		
4   4   5    5   -4  4    4				
Cal-ling out fa-ther oh hold fast and we will
 4   6    6  -4  -4  5   -4   -4  -4  5   4		
Watch the flames burn	au-burn on the moun-tain side
  4    5    5     -4    -5  5   -4  4   3    3    4

(Bridge)			

(Chorus)				

And if the night is burn-ing			
-6  7  -8    8   8   -8   7					
I will co-ver my eyes				
6  6   -8 -8  -8  7				
For if the dark re-turns				
-6  7  -8   8   8   -8				
Then my bro-thers will die				
 7   6  -8   -8    -8   7				
And as the sky is fal-ling down		
-7  7  -7   9  9   9   8    8
It crashed in-to this lone-ly town			
7    7     8  8   -8   -8  7   -8							
And with that sha-dow upon the ground		
 7   7    8    8  -8   -8   7    7		
I hear my peo-ple scream-ing out			
-6 7   8   8  -8    -8    7  -8			
				
						
(Chorus - variation)
Now I see fire in-side the moun-tains		
 7  7  8   8   -8  -8  -8   7    -6						
I see fire burn-ing the tre-es			
7  8   8    -8  -8  -8   8  7			
And I see fi-i-i-ire hol-low-ing so-uls			
 7  7  8   8 9 -8 7  -8  -8  -8	 8   7							
I see fi-i-i-i-i-ire blood in the breeze		
7  8   8 -8-98 -8 7   -9   -9 -9    8		
I see fire						
7  8   8							
Oh you know I saw a ci-ty burn-ing
9   9   9  -9 -9  8 8  -8  -8   7				
And I see fire					
 7  7  8   8					
Feel the heat up-on my skin		
 8    8   8   -8 -8 7   -8		
And I see fire oh oh oh	
 7  7  8   8   -6 -8 8	
And I see fire burn au-burn on		
-5  7  8   8    -8  -9  8   -8		
The moun-tain side						
 7   -7   -7   7						
Play on a harmonica— watch which holes to blow & draw, with sound
