The stars so gaily glistened

Lives that he had led

Verse 2:
D MajorD          C majorC
Then at the dead of midnight
   D MajorD          C majorC
As we watched the dancing firelight
  D MajorD
The air grew cold
  C majorC         D MajorD   C majorC
And seemed to dull the flame
  D MajorD
The fire died
  C majorC
The music faded
D MajorD          C majorC
Filled with fear of death we waited
  D MajorD
For now we knew
   C majorC      D MajorD
Some evil was to blame

The air was clear
