SONG FOR A STORMY NIGHT

(Capo 3. Fr.)

Intro: Em Em

-----Em-------------------Bm
The rain beats hard at my window
-------C----------------G
While you, so softly do sleep
-----Am--------------------Em
And you can’t hear the cold wind blow
Am--------------Bm
You are sleeping so deep

----Em--------------------Bm
Outside its dark, the moon hiding
-----C-------------G
By starlight only I see
------Am---------------------Em
The hosts of the night-time go riding
-----Am---------------D
But you are safe here with me

Chorus
----G---------------------------Bm
So, while the world out there is sleeping
-------C----------------------G
And everyone wrapped up so tight
-----Am--------------Em
Oh, I am a vigil here keeping
F----------------D
On this stormy night
-----G---------------------Bm
I promised I always would love you
----C-----------------------Em
If skies would be grey or be blue
---Am--------------------Em
I whisper the prayer now above you
------Am----------------Bm
That there will always be you

----Em-----------------------Bm
Sometimes, we're just like the weather
C---------------------G
Changing by day after day
----Am--------------Em
As long as we'll be together
Am--------------Bm
Storms will pass away

---Em---------------------Bm
I said I would guard and protect you
C----------------------G
Keep you free from all harm
----Am---------------Em
And if life should ever reject you
------Am----------------------D
That love would weather each storm

(Short Break)

Em--------------------Bm
Soon, I know you'll be waking,
C---------------------G
Ask did I sleep- did I write?
-----Am--------------Em
And I'll just say I was making
---Am----------Bm----Em
A song... for a stormy night.
