Capo 2
Dm C Dm
Far over the Misty Mountains rise
Am Dm
Leave us standing upon the height
Am Em
What was before, we see once more
Dm C Dm
Is our kingdom, a distant light
Dm C Dm
Fiery mountain beneath the moon
Am Em
The words aren't spoken, we'll be there soon
Am Em
For home a song that echoes on
Dm C Dm
And all who find us will know the tune
Dm
Some folk we never forget
Some kind we never forgive
C
Haven't seen the back of us yet
Dm
We'll fight as long as we live
Dm
All lies on the hidden door
To the Lonely Mountain bourne
C
We'll ride in the gathering storm
Dm
Until we get our long forgotten gold
Dm C Dm
We lay under the Misty Mountains cold
Am Dm
In slumbers deep, and dreams of gold
Am Em
We must awake, our lives to make
Dm C Dm
And in the darkness a torch we hold
Dm C Dm
From long ago when lanterns burned
Am Em
Until this day our hearts have yearned
Am Em
A fate unknown; the Arkenstone
Dm C Dm
What was stolen must be returned
Instrumental
Am Em
We must away, and make the day
Dm C Dm
To find our song, for heart and soul
Dm
Some folk we never forget
Some kind we never forgive
C
Haven't seen the end of it yet
Dm
We'll fight as long as we live
Dm
All lies on the hidden door
To the Lonely Mountain bourne
C
We'll ride in the gathering storm
Dm
Till we get our long forgotten gold
(not sure of this part)
Far away the Misty Mountains cold.
