I See Fire is a song recorded and produced by English singer-songwriter, Ed Sheeran. The song was commissioned for the soundtrack of the 2013 film, The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug , where it plays over the closing credits. The Hobbit director, Peter Jackson, asked Sheeran to write a song for the movie, after Jackson’s daughter, Katie, suggested Sheeran. Sheeran saw the film, wrote the song, and recorded most of the track elements on the same day. Today we’ll learn an easy arrangement of the I See Fire chords for acoustic guitar.
Here are some helpful tips to keep in mind that will help you learn the tune faster while giving you some ideas for how to approach performing it. I provided some useful links above and I’ll take you through the I See Fire chords, accompaniment patterns, song form and a chord chart. Everything you need to get started playing this tune.
I See Fire is the key of Bb minor major. However, if we add a capo to the 6th fret, we can use chords in the key of E minor. We’ll be playing in the key of Bb minor but thinking in the key of E minor—a much more guitar-friendly key.

The song begins with a haunting melody sung a cappella and rubato (which means voice only and freely or without a specific beat). This sets the minor-key mood and then begins with an E minor pentatonic fill that launches the Em–C–D chord riff.
This is a fun and easy tune that you can quickly add to your repertoire. It’s also a great tune for those venturing into the world of fingerstyle playing and singing while playing. The repetitive nature of the chord progression and accompaniment pattern lend themselves to working on these skills.
I find that using a pick to strum the I See Fire chords can be a little too harsh sounding for the mood of this tune. For that reason, I suggest using your fingers to pluck and strum the chords. Let’s begin by assigning the right-hand fingers to certain strings:

This is the essence of fingerstyle playing, assigning fingers to specific strings. This way, you don’t need to look at the right hand while playing. Once you get used to it, you can “feel” where you are.
I suggest using the finger-plucking technique for the verse and the finger-strumming technique for the prechorus. I explain this in more detail in the video.
If you don’t read music, please don’t be intimidated. This is a cheat sheet that can help you get through the tune quickly and easily. I find it indispensable for learning songs and I can also hand it to a seasoned musician and they can follow along without any problems.

Once you become familiar with chord charts, you’ll never want to go back. It’s just easier to see where you’re going when you have a map. And, it’s especially helpful when you’re not familiar with the song or there’s a section of the song that you don’t remember (Bridges and Interludes are notorious for surprising players and derailing a song’s performance). Fortunately, this tune has neither a Bridge or Interlude.
I hope that you’ve enjoy learning the I See Fire chords! This is a beautiful tune that turns heads as most audience members recognize it but aren’t expecting to hear it.
