Joan Baez – Still Waters At Night (Guitar)

                C Bm                    D         D
Still waters at night in the darkest of dark

                C Bm                      D         D
but you rise as white as the birch tree's bark.

                  Em      Em/D                  C
Or a pale wolf in winter,     you look down and shiver

Am        D         G        C        G        G
 at still waters at night.

                 C Bm                          D         D
Your eyes are as black as the blackness you're fearing,

             C Bm                      D         D
and yonder a bridge and a voice within hearing.

                Em        Em/D            C
Come walk on me   softly,   look down and you'll see

Am      D         G        C        G        G
  still waters at night.

       F         C    C                G           G
You've reason to fear   there is no protection,

      F          C        C                 G           G
but a garland of emeralds   and a moonlit reflection

                 D        D                     Em
of a boat in the distance   will the devil take   his chance

Am         D         G      C      G      G
  at still waters at night.

              C     Bm                         D         D
So dance me a small dance and the night cannot hurt you,

                  C Bm                       D         D
nor the waters be silent, nor the emeralds desert you.

                              Em        Em/D             C         C
For the boat's full of bright   scarves   and wild hats among them,

             Em        Em                   C        C
songs of the vagabond,   it's to you he has sung them

                  Am      Am         D
and shattered the silence   of still waters at [Outro] night.
