Ed plays it with a capo on fret number 6.
THIS IS THE SAME VERSION USED IN THE VIDEO.
The song seems to follow a basic 4 chord pattern the entire way through, Am,
Cadd9, D, Em7. Ed does some pull-offs, and adds his own technique to it. So you
can mess around with the chords and pluck them differently to mimic is as best you can.
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 son
Am Cadd9
If this is to end in fire
D Em7
Then we should all burn together
Am Cadd9 D Em7
Watch the flames climb high into the night
Am Cadd9 D Em7
Calling out for the rope, sent by and we will
Cadd9 Am
Watch the flames burn over and over
Cadd9 D
The mountain side
Am Cadd9
And if we should die tonight
D Em7
Then we should all die together
Am Cadd9 D Em7
Raise a glass of wine for the last time
Am Cadd9
Calling out for the rope
D Em7
Prepare as we will
Cadd9 Am
Watch the flames burn over and over
Cadd9 D
The mountain side
Cadd9 Am Em7
Desolation comes upon the sky

Am Cadd9
Now I see fire
D Em7
Inside the mountain
Am Cadd9
I see fire
D Em7
Burning the trees
Am Cadd9
And I see fire
D Em7
All of we souls
Am Cadd9
And I see fire
D Em7
Blood in the breeze
Cadd9
And I hope that you remember me
Oh, should my people fall in
Surely I'll do the same
Come finding mountain holes
We got too close to the flame
Calling out for the rope
Hold fast and we will
Watch the flames burn and over
The mountain side
Am Cadd9 D Em7
Desolation comes upon the sky
Now I see fire
Inside the mountains
I see fire
Burning the trees
And I see fire
All of we souls
And I see fire
Blood in the breeze
And I hope that you remember me
Am Cadd9
And if the night is burning
D Em7
I will cover my eyes
Am Cadd9
For if the dark returns then
D Em7
My brothers will die
Am Cadd9
And as the sky's falling down
D Em7
It crashed into this lonely town
Am Cadd9
And with that shadow upon the ground
D Em7
I hear my people screaming out
Now I see fire
Inside the mountains
I see fire
Burning the trees
And I see fire
All of we souls
And I see fire
Blood in the breeze
Am Cadd9 D Em7
I see fire (fire)
Am Cadd9 D Em7
And I see fire (fire)
Am Cadd9 D Em7
And I see fire (fire)
Am Cadd9 D Em7
And I see fire (burn on and on and mountains sigh)
