Gm Gm (g) (bb)(c-d-c-bb) (a) (g) Far over the misty mountains cold Am Gm (a) (bb-c-bb-a) (g) To dungeons deep and caverns old Dm Am (bb-c) (a-d) (bb-c) (g-a) We must away ere break of day Gm (f) (f) (g) (a) (bb-a-f) (g) To seek the pale enchanted gold The dwarves of yore made mighty spells While hammers fell like ringing bells In places deep, where dark things sleep In hollow halls beneath the fells For ancient king and elvish lord Their many a gleaming golden hoard They shaped and wrought, and light they caught To hide in gems on hilt of sword On silver necklaces they strung The flowering stars, on crowns they hung The dragon fire, in twisted wire Tehy meshed the light of moon and sun Far over the misty mountains cold To dungeons deep and caverns old We must away ere break of day To claim our long-forgotten gold The pines were roaring on the height The winds were moaning in the night The fire was red, it flaming spread The trees like torches blazed with light The bells were ringingin the dale And men looked up with faces pale The dragon's ire, more fierce than fire Laid low the towers and houses frail The mountains smoked beneath the moon The dwarves, they heard the tramp of doom They fled their hall, to dying fall Beneath his feet, beneath the moon. Far over the misty mountains grim To dungeons deep and caverns dim We must away ere break of day To win our harps and gold from him
