[Verse I]
              Am     C
If this is to end in fire
         G             F
Then we should all burn together
          Am           C
Watch the flames climb high
G        D
Into the night
        Am         C
Calling out for the rope,
G           F
sent by and we will

Watch the flames burn over and over

The mountain side (ooh)

Raise a glass of wine for the last time

Calling out for the rope,
G          F
Prepare as we will
          Dm          Em
Watch the flames burn over and over
    F
The mountain side
    Dm     Em              F
Desolation comes upon the sky

[Chorus]
          Am   F
Now I see fire
G          Am
Inside the mountain
      Am   F
I see fire
G           Am
Burning the trees
          Am   F
And I see fire
G         Am
Hallowing souls
      Am   F
I see fire

Blood in the breeze

And I hope that you remember me

[Verse III]
              Am     C
Oh, should my people fall in
       G           F
Surely I'll do the same
             Am       C
Come finding mountain holes we
        G            D
Got too close to the flame
        Am         C
Calling out for the rope,
G             F
Hold fast and we will
          Dm          Em
Watch the flames burn over and over
    F
The mountain side
    Dm     Em              F
Desolation comes upon the sky

[Chorus]
          Am   F
Now I see fire
G          Am
Inside the mountain
      Am   F
I see fire
G           Am
Burning the trees
          Am   F
And I see fire
G         Am
Hallowing souls
      Am   F
I see fire
G            D
Blood in the breeze
(Pause)
And I hope that you remember me

[Bridge]
           Dm       Am
And if the night is burning
       C        G
I will cover my eyes
           Dm     Am            C             G
For if the dark returns then my brothers will die
            Dm           Am
And as the sky's falling down
             C              G
It crashed into this lonely town
             *Dm (*Loud downstroke)
And with that shadow upon the ground
          F                 G
I hear my people screaming out

          Am   F
Now I see fire
G          Am
Inside the mountain
      Am   F
I see fire
G           Am
Burning the trees
          Am   F
And I see fire
G         Am
Hallowing souls
      Am   F
I see fire
G            D
Blood in the breeze
