Dark Is The Night

The picking/strumming pattern throughout is: Pick the bass note once, and strum the chord once.

Intro

   Em         Em/G     Am/F#     B7         Em        Em/G     Am/F#     B7



Verse 1
Em          Em/G   Am   D           G         E7/B
Dark is the night, only bullets are whistling around
Am       Am/C         Em           Em/G F#       B7           *Em
With the wind singing songs in the wires and the stars softly gleaming

   *Em        F#   G         G    Am        Am   B7

Em      Em/G  Am         D              G           E7/B
You are awake though the night has long covered the grounds
Am        Am/C        Em        Em/G F#       B7      Em        Em/G    F#    B7
As you’re rocking the cradle, I know  you are quietly weeping


Chorus

Dm/E           E7/B               Am           Am/G#    Am/G    Am/F#
Oh, how l want to see that tender look in your eyes
D             D/F#               G    C    F#  B7
Oh how I want just one moment to kiss them gently!
Em          Em/G   Am    D                G          E7/B
We’re miles apart. And although stars are lit in the sky
Am      Am/C        Em         Em/G    F#       B7           Em        Em/G    F#    B7
Yet the dark steppe between us tonight feels so troubled and empty


Verse 2

Em   Em/G    Am     D           G            E7/B
I do believe you’ll remain ever faithful and true
Am        Am/C            Em         Em/G F#      B7          Em        Em/G    F#    B7
It’s this faith that gave courage to me    in the fiercest of battles
Em         Em/G  Am       D          G          E7/B
And I’m at peace ‘cause I know I’m returning to you
Am     Am/C   Em             Em/G  F#     B7           Em        Em/G    F#    B7
And whatever befalls me, for sure, I’ll return in fine fettle


Chorus

Dm/E             E7/B                 Am        Am/G#    Am/G    Am/F#
I fear no death. It’s been taking its toll all around
D            D/F#             G    C   F#  B7
And even now it is raging and will not settle
Em      Em/G  Am         D              G           E7/B
You are awake though the night has long covered the grounds
Am        Am/C        Em       Em/G F#    B7            Em        Em/G    F#    B7
As you’re rocking the cradle I know I’ll return in fine fettle


Coda

Em      Em/G  Am         D              G           E7/B
(Hum vocal melody)
Am        Am/C        Em       Em/G F#    B7            Em        Em/G    F#    B7
As you’re rocking the cradle I know I’ll return in fine fettle
