     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.
