[Verse 1]
Am G Em Am
Far over the Misty Mountains cold,
G Em Am
To dungeons deep and caverns old
C G Em
We must away, ere break of day
Am G Am
To find our long forgotten gold
[Verse 2]
Am G Em Am
The dwarves of yore made mighty spells
G Em Am
While hammers fell like ringing bells
C G Em
In places deep, where dark things sleep
Am G Am
In hollow halls beneath the fells
[Verse 3]
Am G Em Am
For ancient king and elvish lord
G Em Am
There many a gleaming golden hoard
C G Em
They shaped and wrought, and light they caught
Am G Am
To hide in gems on hilt of sword
[Verse 4]
Am G Em Am
On silver necklaces they strung
G Em Am
The flowering stars, on crowns they hung
C G Em
The dragon-fire, on twisted wire
Am G Am
They meshed the light of moon and sun
[Verse 5]
Am G Em Am
Far over the Misty Mountains cold
G Em Am
To dungeons deep and caverns old
C G Em
We must away, ere break of day
Am G Am
To claim our long-forgotten gold
[Verse 6]
Am G Em Am
Goblets they carved there for themselves
G Em Am
And harps of gold, where no man delves
C G Em
There lay they long, and many a song
Am G Am
Was sung unheard by men or elves
[Verse 7]
Am G Em Am
The pines were roaring on the heights,
G Em Am
The wind was moaning in the night,
C G Em
The fire was red, it flaming spread,
Am G Am
The trees like torches blazed with light.
[Verse 8]
Am G Em Am
The bells were ringing in the dale
G Em Am
And men looked up with faces pale
C G Em
The dragon's ire, more fierce than fire
Am G Am
Laid low their towers and houses frail
[Verse 9]
Am G Em Am
The mountain smoked beneath the moon
G Em Am
The dwarves, they heard the tramp of doom
C G Em
They fled the hall to dying fall
Am G Am
Beneath his feet, beneath the moon
[Verse 10]
Am G Em Am
Far over the Misty Mountains grim
G Em Am
To dungeons deep and caverns dim
C G Em
We must away, ere break of day
Am G Am
To win our harps and gold from him!
[Verse 11]
Am G Em Am
The wind was on the withered heath
G Em Am
But in the forest stirred no leaf
C G Em
There shadows lay be night or day
Am G Am
And dark things silent crept beneath
[Verse 12]
Am G Em Am
The wind came down from mountains cold
G Em Am
And like a tide it roared and rolled
C G Em
The branches groaned, the forest moaned
Am G Am
And leaves were laid upon the mould
[Verse 13]
Am G Em Am
The wind went on from West to East;
G Em Am
All movement in the forest ceased
C G Em
But shrill and harsh across the marsh
Am G Am
Its whistling voices were released
[Verse 14]
Am G Em Am
The grasses hissed, their tassels bent
G Em Am
The reeds were rattling--on it went
C G Em
O'er shaken pool under heavens cool
Am G Am
Where racing clouds were torn and rent
[Verse 15]
Am G Em Am
It passed the Lonely Mountain bare
G Em Am
And swept above the dragon's lair
C G Em
There black and dark lay boulders stark
Am G Am
And flying smoke was in the air
[Verse 16]
Am G Em Am
It left the world and took its flight
G Em Am
Over the wide seas of the night
C G Em
The moon set sail upon the gale
Am G Am
And stars were fanned to leaping light
[Verse 17]
Am G Em Am
Under the Mountain dark and tall
G Em Am
The King has come unto his hall!
C G Em
His foe is dead, the Worm of Dread
Am G Am
And ever so his foes shall fall!
[Verse 18]
Am G Em Am
The sword is sharp, the spear is long
G Em Am
The arrow swift, the Gate is strong
C G Em
The heart is bold that looks on gold
Am G Am
The dwarves no more shall suffer wrong
[Verse 19]
Am G Em Am
The dwarves of yore made mighty spells
G Em Am
While hammers fell like ringing bells
C G Em
In places deep, where dark things sleep
Am G Am
In hollow halls beneath the fells
[Verse 20]
Am G Em Am
On silver necklaces they strung
G Em Am
The light of stars, on crowns they hung
C G Em
The dragon-fire, from twisted wire
Am G Am
The melody of harps they wrung
[Verse 21]
Am G Em Am
The mountain throne once more is freed!
G Em Am
O! Wandering folk, the summons heed!
C G Em
Come haste! Come haste! Across the waste!
Am G Am
The king of friend and kin has need
[Verse 22]
Am G Em Am
Now call we over the mountains cold
G Em Am
'Come back unto the caverns old!
C G Em
Here at the gates the king awaits
Am G Am
His hands are rich with gems and gold
[Verse 23]
Am G Em Am
The king has come unto his hall
G Em Am
Under the Mountain dark and tall
C G Em
The Wyrm of Dread is slain and dead
Am G Am
And ever so our foes shall fall
[Verse 24]
Am G Em Am
Farewell we call to hearth and hall!
G Em Am
Though wind may blow and rain may fall
C G Em
We must away, ere break of day
Am G Am
Far over the wood and mountain tall
[Verse 25]
Am G Em Am
To Rivendell, where Elves yet dwell
G Em Am
In glades beneath the misty fell
C G Em
Through moor and waste we ride in haste
Am G Am
And whither then we cannot tell
[Verse 26]
Am G Em Am
With foes ahead, behind us dread
G Em Am
Beneath the sky shall be our bed
C G Em
Until at last our toil be passed
Am G Am
Our journey done, our errand sped
[Outro]
C
We must away
G Em
We must away
Am G Am
We ride before the break of day...
