C majorC G/BG/B A minorAm D MajorD G+G
E minorEm D MajorD G+G
C majorC G/BG/B A minorAm D MajorD G+G
E minorEm D MajorD G+G
Upon a darkened night
C majorC G/BG/B A minorAm D MajorD G+G
The flame of love was burning in my breast
E minorEm D MajorD G+G
And by a lantern bright
C majorC G/BG/B A minorAm D MajorD G+G
I fled my house while all in quiet rest
E minorEm C majorC G/BG/B
Shrouded by the night
C majorC G/BG/B A minorAm D MajorD
And by the secret stair I quickly fled
E minorEm C majorC D MajorD
The veil concealed my eyes
E minorEm C majorC G/BG/B D MajorD G+G
While all within lay quiet as the dead
E minorEm D MajorD G+G
Oh night thou was my guide
E minorEm C majorC G/BG/B D MajorD E minorEm
Oh night more loving than the rising sun
C majorC G/BG/B
Oh night that joined the lover
D MajorD
To the beloved one
E minorEm C majorC G/BG/B D MajorD G+G
Transforming each of them into the other
E minorEm D MajorD G+G
Upon that misty night
C majorC G/BG/B A minorAm D MajorD G+G
In secrecy, beyond such mortal sight
E minorEm D MajorD G+G
Without a guide or light
C majorC G/BG/B A minorAm D MajorD G+G
Than that which burned so deeply in my heart
E minorEm C majorC G/BG/B
That fire t'was led me on
C majorC G/BG/B A minorAm D MajorD
And shone more bright than of the midday sun
E minorEm C majorC D MajorD
To where he waited still
E minorEm C majorC G/BG/B D MajorD G+G
It was a place where no one else could come
E minorEm D MajorD G+G
Oh night thou was my guide
E minorEm C majorC G/BG/B D MajorD E minorEm
Oh night more loving than the rising sun
C majorC G+G
Oh night that joined the lover
D MajorD
To the beloved one
E minorEm C majorC G/BG/B D MajorD G+G
Transforming each of them into the other
(E minorEm D MajorD G+G)
(C majorC G/BG/B A minorAm D MajorD G+G)
(E minorEm D MajorD G+G)
(C majorC G/BG/B A minorAm D MajorD G+G)
E minorEm D MajorD G+G
Within my pounding heart
C majorC G/BG/B A minorAm D MajorD G+G
Which kept itself entirely for him
E minorEm D MajorD G+G
He fell into his sleep
C majorC G/BG/B A minorAm D MajorD G+G
Beneath the cedars all my love I gave
E minorEm C majorC G+G
And by the fortress walls
C majorC G/BG/B A minorAm D MajorD
The wind would brush his hair against his brow
E minorEm C majorC D MajorD
And with its smoothest hand
E minorEm C majorC G/BG/B D MajorD G+G
Caressed my every sense it would allow
E minorEm D MajorD G+G
Oh night thou was my guide
E minorEm C majorC G/BG/B D MajorD E minorEm
Oh night more loving than the rising sun
C majorC G/BG/B
Oh night that joined the lover
D MajorD
To the beloved one
E minorEm C majorC G/BG/B D MajorD G+G
Transforming each of them into the other
(E minorEm D MajorD G+G)
(C majorC G/BG/B A minorAm D MajorD G+G)
(E minorEm D MajorD G+G)
(C majorC G/BG/B A minorAm D MajorD G+G)
(E minorEm D MajorD G+G)
(C majorC G/BG/B A minorAm D MajorD G+G)
(E minorEm D MajorD G+G)
(C majorC G/BG/B A minorAm D MajorD G+G)
E minorEm D MajorD G+G
I lost myself to him
C majorC G/BG/B A minorAm D MajorD G+G
And laid my face upon my lovers breast
E minorEm D MajorD G+G
And care and grief grew dim
C majorC G/BG/B A minorAm D MajorD G+G
As in the mornings mist became the light
E minorEm C majorC G/BG/B D MajorD G+G
There they dimmed amongst the lilies fair
E minorEm C majorC G/BG/B D MajorD E minorEm
There they dimmed amongst the lilies fair
E minorEm C majorC G/BG/B D MajorD G+G
