    But nothing received, no answer.

  • Been teaching myself for a few years. Never read a note and solely played off of improvisation. You’re the first guitar tabs that I have chosen to fully learn. My mind is about to change with guitar. Thank you.

  • Can someone type me lyrics FOR THIS SONG. Bc I want to sing it while playing but the lyrics of normal misty mountains cold are different.

  • Amazon's rings of power makes the Hobbit look so much better. Rings of power is vandalism of Tolkien's work, no accuracy to the greatest fantasy novels of all time, disgusting. I will not watch that trash I've heard all bad things about it. I hope it is an epic FLOP, it deserves no attention

  • Took me a time play to play it by heart.

    Its not that hard to play.
    But to remember the correct sequence took me a week.

    Thanks for the tabs.

  • Далеко, за стужей Мглистых гор

    Лежит дорога в Эребор

    С рассветом в путь. Должны вернуть

    Мы злато тех забытых пор

    Изделия гномов в их стране былой

    Всех поражали своей красотой

    И молот пел, во тьме звенел

    В пустынных залах под горой

    В ту ночь зловеще ветер завывал

    Трещали сосны, огонь плясал

    И был безжалостным пожар

    Весь лес, как факелы, пылал

    Звонили в Дейле люди в колокола

    К несчастью, битва неравной была

    С небес дракон своим огнём

    Сжигал их башни и дома дотла

    И услыхали гномы вдали

    Шаги дракона, что смерть несли

    Проигран бой, и под луной

    Из залов прочь они ушли

    Далеко, за стужей Мглистых гор

    Лежит дорога в Эребор

    С рассветом в путь. Должны вернуть

    Мы злато тех забытых пор

  • I'm a little late to the party but I really like your channel. And this is a great song that I want to learn! I only have an electric guitar and it does not sound right when I play this on it (no surprise there I guess) and I'm now in the market for a classical guitar. What kind of guitar do you use? The brand and type I mean? Thanks man!

  • Do you have a video explaining the link between numbers, and strings along the bottom vs the top. Watching at 0.25x, I cant see it.

  • Far Over the Misty Mountains Cold
    The Hobbit

    Far over the misty mountains cold
    To dungeons deep and caverns old
    We must away ere break of day
    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
    There 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
    They 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

    Goblets they carved there for themselves
    And harps of gold; where no man delves
    There lay they long, and many a song
    Was sung unheard by men or elves

    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 ringing in the dale
    And men they looked up with faces pale
    The dragon's ire more fierce than fire
    Laid low their towers and houses frail

    The mountain 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

    The world was young, the mountains green
    No stain yet on the Moon was seen
    No words were laid on stream or stone
    When Durin woke and walked alone
    He named the nameless hills and dells
    He drank from yet untasted wells
    He stooped and looked in Mirrormere
    And saw a crown of stars appear
    As gems upon a silver thread
    Above the shadows of his head

    The world is grey, the mountains old
    The forge's fire is ashen-cold
    No harp is wrung, no hammer falls
    The darkness dwells in Durin's halls
    The shadow lies upon his tomb
    In Moria, in Khazad-dûm
    But still the sunken stars appear
    In dark and windless Mirrormere
    There lies his crown in water deep
    'Till Durin wakes again from sleep

    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!

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

    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 wind was on the withered heath
    But in the forest stirred no leaf
    There shadows lay by night and day
    And dark things silent crept beneath

    The wind came down from mountains cold
    And like a tide it roared and rolled
    The branches groaned, the forest moaned
    And leaves were laid upon the mould

    The wind went on from West to East
    All movement in the forest ceased
    But shrill and harsh across the marsh
    Its whistling voices were released

    The grasses hissed, their tassels bent
    The reeds were rattling, on it went
    O'er shaken pool under heavens cool
    Where racing clouds were torn and rent

    It passed the Lonely Mountain bare
    And swept above the dragon's lair
    There black and dark lay boulders stark
    And flying smoke was in the air

    It left the world and took its flight
    Over the wide seas of the night
    The Moon set sail upon the gale
    And stars were fanned to leaping light

    Under the Mountain dark and tall
    The King has come unto his hall!
    His foe is dead, the Worm of Dread
    And ever so his foes shall fall!

    The sword is sharp, the spear is long
    The arrow swift, the Gate is strong
    The heart is bold that looks on gold
    The dwarves no more shall suffer wrong

    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

    On silver necklaces they strung
    The light of stars, on crowns they hung
    The dragon-fire, from twisted wire
    The melody of harps they wrung

    The mountain throne once more is freed!
    O! Wandering folk, the summons heed!
    Come haste! Come haste! Across the waste!
    The king of friend and kin has need

    Now we call over the mountains cold
    'Come back unto the caverns old! '
    Here at the Gates the king awaits
    His hands are rich with gems and gold

    The king has come unto his hall
    Under the Mountain dark and tall
    The Worm of Dread is slain and dead
    And ever so our foes shall fall!

    Farewell we call to hearth and hall
    Though wind may blow and rain may fall
    We must away, ere break of day
    Far over the wood and mountain tall

    To Rivendell, where Elves yet dwell
    In glades beneath the misty fell
    Through moor and waste we ride in haste
    And whither then we cannot tell

    With foes ahead, behind us dread
    Beneath the sky shall be our bed
    Until at last our toil be passed
    Our journey done, our errand sped

    We must away! We must away!
    We ride before the break of day!????

  • Finding this has made me pick up my guitar again after not touching it for 10 years, fingers sore, alot of pausing and re-trying but got to the end …. Need to practise now

    Reply
  • I've just started learning to play guitar around 10 days ago. I try to practice everyday at least up to an hour and return to this tutorial every other day to continue learning this cover. It's so motivating to be able to see my own progress as I'm getting used to playing, now I finally can make it to the end of the video part-by-part! Thank you for an amazing opportunity to learn from you!
