The Night Visiting Song Chords

   G     C    G                     D  G
 I must away, love, I can no longer tarry 
                C  G              D
 This morning’s tempest I have to cross 
           G                C   G
 I must be guided without a stumble 
          C G    D        G
 Into the arms I love the most. 


             C G                     D    G
 And when he came to his true love’s dwelling 
               C  G          D
 He knelt down gently upon a stone 
                 G                   C  G
 And through her window he whispered lowly 
            C G       D     G
 Is my true lover within at home? 


      G       C  G                         D G
 Wake up wake up love it is thine own true lover 
              C  G               D
 Wake up wake up love and let me in 
          G                    C   G
 For I am tired love and oh so weary 
      G        C             D      G
 And more than near drenched to the skin. 


                  C G               D   G
 She's raised her off her down soft pillow 
                  C G                   D
 She's raised her off and she's let him in 
               G                      C G
 And they were locked in each other's arms 
             C   G         D        G
 Until that long night was past and gone. 


     G         C    G                    D  G
 And when that long night was passed and over, 
              C     G               D
 And when the small clouds began to grow 
                G                           C  G
 He's taken her hand and they’ve kissed and parted 
                    C   G       D        G
 And he saddled and mounted and away did go. 


   G     C   G                    D  G
 I must away love I can no longer tarry 
                C  G              D
 This morning’s tempest I have to cross 
           G                C   G
 I must be guided without a stumble 
          C G    D        G
 Into the arms I love the most.
