Bill Monroe – Midnight On The Stormy Deep (Guitar)

C                   G7     C
Was midnight on the stormy deep

                       C7
My solitary watch I ke-ep

                F            C
And to think of her I left behind

             G7                C
And asked if she'd be true and kind

              G7         C
I never shall forget the day

                           C7
When I was forced to go aw-ay

           F                   C
In silence there my head she'd rest

               G7            C
And pressed me to her loving breast

                G7         C
Oh Willie don't go back to sea

                                 C7
There's other girls as good as m-e

             F                C
But none can love you true as I

              G7                C
Pray don't go where the bullets fly

                  G7       C
The deep deep sea may us divide

                              C7
And I may be some other's bri-de

             F                       C
But still my thoughts will sometimes stray

             G7           C
To thee when thou art far away

             G7              C
I never have proved false to thee

                                 C7
The heart I gave was true as th-ine

             F                C
But you have proved untrue to me

         G7               C
I can no longer call thee mine

                    G7         C
Then fare thee well I'd rather make

                         C7
My home upon some icy la-ke

                   F             C
Where the southern sun refuse to shine

                          G7       C
Then to trust a love so false as thine
