Slumber My Darling Ukulele chords by Stephen Foster

Verse 1:
C           G            Am        Em7
Slumber, my darling, thy mother is near
Am          Em7             C          G
Guiding thy dreams from all terror and fear
C            G               Am           Em7
Sunlight has passed, and the twilight has gone
F           C            Em7        G7  C
Slumber, my darling, the night’s coming on.



G               C        Am
Sweet visions attend thy sleep
G                   C
Fondest, dearest to me
G                  C      Am
While others their revels keep
G      D          G     G7
I will watch over thee.

Chorus:
C           G            Am           Em7
Slumber, my darling, the birds are at rest
Am        Em7         C             G
Wandering dews by the flow’rs are caressed
C           G             Am           Em7
Slumber, my darling
I’ll wrap thee up warm
    F             C           Em7         G7   C
And pray that the angels will shield thee from harm.



Verse :
C           G             Am              Em7
Slumber, my darling, till morn’s blushing ray
Am            Em7            C          G
Brings to the world the glad tidings of day
C             G             Am       Em7
Fill the dark void with thy dreamy delight
F            C           Em7        G7 C
Slumber, thy mother will guard thee to-night
G                C      Am
Thy pillow shall sacred be
G                 C
From all outward alarms
G                  C        Am
Thou, thou are the world to me
G        D        G     G7
In thine innocent charms.

I’ll wrap thee up warm

And pray that the angels will shield thee from harm
