Em          Em/G   Am   D
Dark is the night, only bullets are
G         E7/B
Whistling around
Am       Am/C         Em
With the wind singing songs in the
Em/G F#       B7           Em
Wires and the stars softly gleaming

Em      Em/G  Am         D
You are awake though the night has
     G           E7/B
Long covered the grounds
Am        Am/C        Em        Em/G
As you’re rocking the cradle, I know
 F#       B7      Em        Em/G
  You are quietly weeping

( F#  B7 )

Dm/E           E7/B
Oh, how l want to see that tender
Continues after the ad
Am           Am/G#    Am/G
Look in your eyes
 F#m7(5-)
D             D/F#
Oh how I want just one moment to
G    C    F#  B7
Kiss them gently!

Em          Em/G   Am    D
We’re miles apart. And although
          G          E7/B
Stars are lit in the sky
Am      Am/C        Em
Yet the dark steppe between us
Em/G    F#       B7
Tonight feels so troubled and
Em     Em/G  F#  B7
Empty

Em   Em/G    Am     D
I do believe you’ll remain ever
G            E7/B
Faithful and true
Am        Am/C            Em
It’s this faith that gave courage to
 Em/G F#      B7          Em
 Me    in the fiercest of battles

( Em/G  F#  B7 )

Em         Em/G  Am       D
And I’m at peace ‘cause I know I’m
  G          E7/B
Returning to you
Am     Am/C   Em             Em/G
And whatever befalls me, for sure
F#     B7           Em        Em/G
I’ll return in fine fettle

( F#  B7 )

Dm/E             E7/B
I fear no death. It’s been taking
    Am        Am/G#    Am/G   F#m7(5-)
Its toll all around
D            D/F#             G
And even now it is raging and will
C   F#  B7
Not settle

Em      Em/G  Am         D
You are awake though the night has
     G           E7/B
Long covered the grounds
Am        Am/C        Em       Em/G
As you’re rocking the cradle I know
F#    B7            Em        Em/G
I’ll return in fine fettle

( F#  B7  Em  Em/G )
( Am  D  G  E7/B )

Am        Am/C        Em       Em/G
As you’re rocking the cradle I know
F#    B7            Em        Em/G
I’ll return in fine fettle

[Ending] F#  B7
