Capo 3rd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

 The rain beats hard at my window

 While you, so softly do sleep

 And you can’t hear the cold wind blow

You are sleeping so deep

 Outside its dark, the moon hiding

 By starlight only I see

 The hosts of the night-time go riding

 But you are safe here with me

 So, while the world out there is sleeping

 And everyone wrapped up so tight

 Oh, I am a vigil here keeping

On this stormy night

 I promised I always would love you

 If skies would be grey or be blue

 I whisper the prayer now above you

 That there will always be you

 Sometimes, we're just like the weather

 Changing by day after day

 As long as we'll be together

Storms will pass away

 I said I would guard and protect you

Keep you free from all harm

 And if life should ever reject you

 That love would weather each storm

 So, while the world out there is sleeping

 And everyone wrapped up so tight

 Oh, I am a vigil here keeping

On this stormy night

 I promised I always would love you

 If skies would be grey or be blue

 I whisper the prayer now above you

 That there will always be you

Instrumental

(Short Break)

Soon, I know you'll be waking,

Ask did I sleep- did I write?

 And I'll just say I was making

 A song... for a stormy night.
