(Capo 3. Fr.)

Intro: Em Em

Em Bm
The rain beats hard at my window
C G
While you, so softly do sleep
Am Em
And you can’t hear the cold wind blow
Am Bm
You are sleeping so deep

Em Bm
Outside its dark, the moon hiding
C G
By starlight only I see
Am Em
The hosts of the night-time go riding
Am D
But you are safe here with me

G Bm
So, while the world out there is sleeping
C G
And everyone wrapped up so tight
Am Em
Oh, I am a vigil here keeping
F D
On this stormy night
G Bm
I promised I always would love you
C Em
If skies would be grey or be blue
Am Em
I whisper the prayer now above you
Am Bm
That there will always be you


Em Bm
Sometimes, we're just like the weather
C G
Changing by day after day
Am Em
As long as we'll be together
Am Bm
Storms will pass away

Em Bm
I said I would guard and protect you
C G
Keep you free from all harm
Am Em
And if life should ever reject you
Am D
That love would weather each storm


G Bm
So, while the world out there is sleeping
C G
And everyone wrapped up so tight
Am Em
Oh, I am a vigil here keeping
F D
On this stormy night
G Bm
I promised I always would love you
C Em
If skies would be grey or be blue
Am Em
I whisper the prayer now above you
Am Bm
That there will always be you

(Short Break)

Em Bm
Soon, I know you'll be waking,
C G
Ask did I sleep- did I write?
Am Em
And I'll just say I was making
Am Bm Em
A song... for a stormy night.
