[G] [D] [A]
[B] I will try a song I've never sung in a motion before, ladies and gentlemen.
It's [F#] always a bit difficult to break some [D#] new ground.
This is a love song [G] from Scotland.
It's called the [F#m] Night Visiting [E] Song.
[Dm] [E] And I just hope I can do it.
[A] I'll just try.
I must [D] away [A] now,
the love kept tight.
This morning's tepid
[E] across the [A]
cross.
He died there
without [D] a [A] stumble.
Into the arms [Bm] I love [A] the most.
And when [D] he [A] came
to his true [Bm] love's [A]
wedding,
[F#m] he knelt [D] down [A] gently
upon a [E] stone.
[Bm] And through her [A] window
he's [D] whispered [A] lonely.
This my [D] true [A] love
[Bm] [A] within that home.
She raised [D] her [A] arms
and soft pillow.
She's [D] raised her [A] arms
and she's let them [E] in.
As if [A] they were not
[D]
[A] each other's arms.
Until [D] the [A] long night
[Bm] was [A] past and gone.
And when [D] that [A] long night
was past [E] and [A]
over,
and when [D] the small [A] cloud
began to [C#m] grow,
[E] he's taken [A] her hand
and they [D] kissed her in [A] partner.
And he's come over [D] the [A] mountain
away with gold.
I must [D] away [A] now,
the love kept tight.
[D] [A]
[E] I must [A] be guided
without [D] a [A] stumble.
Into [D] the arms [A] [B] I love the [A] most.
