[Verse 1]
                C Bm              
Still waters at night in the 
      D         D
darkest of dark
                C Bm              
but you rise as white as the birch
        D         D
 tree's bark.
                  Em      Em/D    
Or a pale wolf in winter,     you 
              C
look down and shiver
Am        D         G        C 
 at still waters at night.
       G        G


[Verse 2]
                 C Bm       
Your eyes are as black as the 
                   D         D
blackness you're fearing,
             C Bm             
and yonder a bridge and a voice 
         D         D
within hearing.
Continues after the ad
                Em        Em/D 
Come walk on me   softly,   look 
           C
down and you'll see
Am      D         G        C   
  still waters at night.
     G        G


[Bridge]
       F         C    C          
You've reason to fear   there is 
      G           G
no protection,
      F          C        C      
but a garland of emeralds   and a
           G           G
 moonlit reflection
                 D        D       
of a boat in the distance   will 
              Em
the devil take   his chance
Am         D         G      C   
  at still waters at night.
   G      G


[Verse 3]
              C     Bm            
So dance me a small dance and the 
             D         D
night cannot hurt you,
                  C Bm            
nor the waters be silent, nor the 
           D         D
emeralds desert you.
For the boat's full of bright   
Em        Em/D             C    
scarves   and wild hats among 
     C
them,
             Em        Em         
songs of the vagabond,   it's to 
          C        C
you he has sung them
                  Am      Am      
and shattered the silence   of 
   D
still waters at [Other] night.
