Song of the Lonely Mountain Chords & Lyrics by Neil Finn
Song of the Lonely Mountain
guitar chords lyrics
This tune contains a whole heap of truncated bars that I've indicated using the numbers
in brackets next to the chord. If you imagine that each unnumbered chord (such as Fm) is
8 beats long, then the numbers in the brackets are equal to the number of beats that the
chord in question lasts for. Hope that makes sense ;)
I play it using Em chord shapes with a capo on the first fret. If you'd like to play it
this way, just transpose the chords down a semitone (using the built in tool in Ultimate
Guitar at the top left of the tab-"transpose") with a capo at 1.
I've written "horde"...But really, I don't have the foggiest what that word is actually
supposed to be :P
Fm Fm
Far over the Misty Mountains rise
Eb Fm
Lead us standing upon the height
Cm Gm
What was before we see once more
Ab(4) Eb(2) Fm
Is our kingdom a distant light
Fm(6) Fm
Fiery mountain beneath a moon
Eb Gm
The words aren't spoken, we'll be there soon
Cm Gm
For home a song that echoes on
Ab(4) Eb(2) Fm
And all who find us will know the tune
Fm
Some folk we never forget
Fm
Some kind we never forgive
Eb
Haven't seen the back of us yet
Bbm
We'll fight as long as we live
Fm
All eyes on the hidden door
Fm
To the Lonely Mountain horde
Eb
We'll ride in the gathering storm
Bbm(4) Db(2) Eb(2) Fm
Until we get our long forgotten gold
Fm Fm
We lay under the Misty Mountains cold
Eb Fm
In slumbers deep, and dreams of gold
Cm Gm
We must awake, our lives to make
Ab(4) Eb(2) Fm
And in the darkness a torch we hold
Fm(6) Fm
From long ago when lanterns burned
Eb Gm
Until this day our hearts have yearned
Cm Gm
A fate unknown, the Arkenstone
Ab(4) Eb(4) Fm(4)
What was stolen must be returned
Bbm(4) Ab(2) Db(2) Bbm
Ab(6) Eb(2) Bbm
Fm Cm
We must away ere break of day
Db(6) Eb(2) Bbm
To find our song for heart and soul
Fm
Some folk we never forget
Fm
Some kind we never forgive
Eb
Haven't seen the end of it yet
Bbm
We'll fight as long as we live
Fm
All eyes on the hidden door
Fm
To the Lonely Mountain horde
Eb
We'll ride in the gathering storm
Bbm(4) Ab (2) Eb(2) Fm
Until we get our long forgotten gold
DbM7(4) G(2) Ebsus2(2) Fm
Far away the Misty Mountains cold.
