• Song:

    I See Fire

  • Artist:

    Ed Sheeran

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)
