Oft In The Stilly Night(Keyboard chords)

	        Verse: 1 

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 


Verse: 2 

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
