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)
