[Verse 1]
Gm
Far over the misty mountains cold
F Gm
To dungeons deep and caverns old
F
We must away ere break of day
Eb F G Am
To seek the pale enchanted gold.
[Verse 2]
Am
The dwarves of yore made mighty spells,
G Am
While hammers fell like ringing bells
G
In places deep, where dark things sleep,
F G Am
In hollow halls beneath the fells.
[Verse 3]
Am
For ancient king and elvish lord
G Am
There many a gleaming golden hoard
C Dm Em/B Em Am
They shaped and wrought, and light they cau---ght
F G Am
To hide in ge--ms on hilt of sword
[Verse 4]
F G Am
On silver ne--ckla--ces they strung
G
The flowering stars, o--n crowns they hung
Am G
The dragon-fire, in twisted wire
F G Am
They meshed the light of moon and sun.

Far over the misty mountains cold
G Am
To dungeons deep and caverns old

We must away, ere break of day,
F G Am
To claim our long-forgotten gold.
[Verse 6]
Am G Am
Goblets they carved there for themselves
G Am
And harps of gold; where no man delves
G
There lay they long, and many a song
F G Am
Was sung unhea--rd by men or elves.
[Verse 7]
Am
The pines were roaring on the height,
G Em
The winds were moaning in the night.
C Am Dm Em Am
The fire was re--d, it flaming sprea--d;
F G Am
The trees like torches blazed with light.
[Verse 8]
Am G Am
The bells were ringing i--n the dale
G A
And men looked up with faces pale;
G Am C G
The dragon's ire more fierce than fire
F G A Bbm
Laid low their towers and houses frail.
[Verse 9]
Bbm
The mountain smoked beneath the moon;
Bb Ab Bbm
The dwarves, they heard the tramp of doom.
Ab
They fled their hall to dying fall
Gb Ab Bb
Beneath his feet, beneath the moon.
[Verse 10]
Bb Fm Bb
Far over the misty mountains grim
Ab/C Ab Bb
To dungeons dee--p and caverns dim
Bm Ab
We must away, ere break of day,
Gb Ab/Eb Bb
To win our harps and gold from him!

Far over the misty mountains cold

To dungeons deep and caverns old...
