[Verse]
G D G D
I must away, love, no longer tarry
G D G D
This roaring tempest I have to cross
G A Bm
I must be guided without a fall
G A D
Into the arms I love the best
[Verse]
G D G D
When he came to his true love's dwelling
G D G D
He's knelt down gently upon a stone
G A Bm
Through the window he's whispered soft
G A D
"Is my true lover within at home?"
[Verse]
G D
She's raised her up from off her pillow
G A D
She's raised her up from off her bed
G D
And through the window she's whispered soft
A D
"Who's that disturbing my own night's rest?"

G D G D
"Wake up, wake up, love, it's your own true lover
G D G D
Wake up, wake up, love, and let me in
G A Bm
Oh, how the wind blows and how it rains
G A D
Oh, I am wet, love, unto the skin"
[Verse]
G D
She's raised her up from off her pillow
G A D
She's raised her up and let him in
G D
They were locked in each other's arms
A D
Until the long night was passed and gone
[Verse]
G D G D
And when the long night was passed and gone
G D G D
When the dark clouds, they did divide
G A Bm
He's leaned down gently and kissed her soft
G A D
He saddled up and away did ride
[Outro]
Em7 A D
He's mounted up on his horse and away did ride
Em7 A D
He's mounted up on his horse and away did ride
