Midnight On The Stormy Deep chords by Bill Monroe

Chords with lyrics

Verse 1:
C majorC          G7G7   C majorC
Was midnight on the stormy deep
            C7C7
My solitary watch I ke-ep
        FF      C majorC
And to think of her I left behind
       G7G7        C majorC
And asked if she'd be true and kind

Verse 2:
       G7G7     C majorC
I never shall forget the day
              C7C7
When I was forced to go aw-ay
      FF          C majorC
In silence there my head she'd rest
        G7G7      C majorC
And pressed me to her loving breast

Verse 3:
        G7G7     C majorC
Oh Willie don't go back to sea
                 C7C7
There's other girls as good as m-e
       FF        C majorC
But none can love you true as I
       G7G7        C majorC
Pray don't go where the bullets fly

Verse 4:
         G7G7    C majorC
The deep deep sea may us divide
               C7C7
And I may be some other's bri-de
       FF            C majorC
But still my thoughts will sometimes stray
       G7G7      C majorC
To thee when thou art far away

Verse 4:
       G7G7       C majorC
I never have proved false to thee
                 C7C7
The heart I gave was true as th-ine
       FF        C majorC
But you have proved untrue to me
     G7G7        C majorC
I can no longer call thee mine

Verse 5:
          G7G7     C majorC
Then fare thee well I'd rather make
             C7C7
My home upon some icy la-ke
          FF       C majorC
Where the southern sun refuse to shine
        G7G7        C majorC
