Oft In The Stilly Night

G C Oft, in the stilly night G D G Ere Slumber's chain has bound me G G7 C Fond Memory brings the light G D G Of other days around me G The smiles, the tears D G Of boyhood's years Em C D G The words of love then spoken G The eyes that shone C G Now dimm'd and gone Em C D G The cheerful hearts now broken G G7 C Thus, in the stilly night G D G Ere Slumber's chain hath bound me G G7 C Sad Memory brings the light G D G Of other days around me G C When I remember all G D G The friends, so link'd together G G7 C I've seen around me fall G D G Like leaves in wintry weather G I feel like one D G Who treads alone Em C D G Some banquet-hall deserted G Whose lights are fled D Em Whose garlands dead G D G And all but he departed G G7 C Thus, in the stilly night G D G Ere Slumber's chain hath bound me G G7 C Sad Memory brings the light G D G Of other days around me
