Midnight On The Stormy Deep chords by Bill Monroe

Verse 1:
C          G7   C
Was midnight on the stormy deep
            C7
My solitary watch I ke-ep
        F      C
And to think of her I left behind
       G7        C
And asked if she'd be true and kind

Verse 2:
       G7     C
I never shall forget the day
              C7
When I was forced to go aw-ay
      F          C
In silence there my head she'd rest
        G7      C
And pressed me to her loving breast

Verse 3:
        G7     C
Oh Willie don't go back to sea
                 C7
There's other girls as good as m-e
       F        C
But none can love you true as I
       G7        C
Pray don't go where the bullets fly

Verse 4:
         G7    C
The deep deep sea may us divide
               C7
And I may be some other's bri-de
       F            C
But still my thoughts will sometimes stray
       G7      C
To thee when thou art far away

Verse 4:
       G7       C
I never have proved false to thee
                 C7
The heart I gave was true as th-ine
       F        C
But you have proved untrue to me
     G7        C
I can no longer call thee mine

Verse 5:
          G7     C
Then fare thee well I'd rather make
             C7
My home upon some icy la-ke
          F       C
Where the southern sun refuse to shine
        G7        C
