Lyrics
(N.C.)Oh mist y eye of the moun tain be low,
keep care ful watch of my broth er’s souls.
And should the sky be filled with fire and smoke,
keep watch ing o ver Dur in’s sons.
If this is to end in (C)fire,
then we should (G)all burn to geth er, watch the (Am)flames climb (C)high
(G)in to the (F)night.
Call ing (Am)out fath (C)er, oh, (G)stand by and (F)we will watch the (Dm7)flames burn (Em)au burn on the (F)moun tain side.
And if we should die to (C)night,
we should (G)all die to geth er.
Raise a (Am)glass of (C)wine
for the (Dm7)last time.
Call ing (Am)out fath (C)er, oh, (G)pre pare as (F)we will watch the (D)flames burn (Em)au burn on the (F)moun tain side.
De so (Dm)la tion comes up on the sky.
Now I see (Am)fire,
(G)in side the (Am)moun tain.
I see fire,
(G)burn ing the (Am)trees and I see fire,
(G)hol low ing (Am)souls.
I see fire,
(G)blood in the (Dm)breeze.
And I hope that you’ll re mem ber me.
Oh, should my peo ple (C)fall then sure ly (G)I’ll do the (F)same.
Con fined in (Am)moun tain (C)halls, we got too (G)close to the (Dm7)flame.
Call ing (Am)out fa (C)ther oh, (G)hold fast and (F)we will watch the (D)flames burn (Em)au burn on the (F)moun tain side.
De so (Dm)la tion comes up on the sky.
Now I see (Am)fire,
(G)in side the (Am)moun tain.
I see fire,
(G)burn ing the (Am)trees and I see fire,
(G)hol low ing (Am)souls.
I see fire,
(G)blood in the (Dm)breeze.
And I hope that you’ll re mem ber me.
And if the (D)night is (Am)burn ing I will (C)cov er my (G)eyes.
For if the (D)dark re (Am)turns then my (C)broth ers will (G)die.
And as the (D)sky is fall ing (Am)down, it crashed in (C)to this lone ly (G)town.
And with that (D)shad ow up on the ground, I (Em)hear my (F)peo ple scream ing out.
Now I see (Am)fire,
(G)in side the (Am)moun tain.
I see fire,
(G)burn ing the (Am)trees and I see fire,
(G)hol low ing (Am)souls.
I see fire,
(G)blood in the (Am)breeze.
I see fire, oh, you know I saw a cit y burn ing, (G)fire.
And I see fire, feel the heat up on my skin, (G)fire.
And I see fire, (F)ooh, ooh, ooh, (G)fire.
And I see fire burn (F)au burn on the (G)moun tain side.
