[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 e|-------0--------------3--------------5--------------7----| B|-------0--------------3--------------5--------------7----| G|-------0--------------4--------------5--------------8----| D|-------2--------------5--------------7--------------7----| A|-------2--------------5--------------7--------------9----| E|--0---------2----3---------3----5---------5----7---------| 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
