Slumber My Darling Ukulele chords by Stephen Foster

Verse 1:
C      G      Am    Em7
Slumber, my darling, thy mother is near
Am     Em7       C     G
Guiding thy dreams from all terror and fear
C      G        Am      Em7
Sunlight has passed, and the twilight has gone
F      C      Em7    G7 C
Slumber, my darling, the night’s coming on.



G        C    Am
Sweet visions attend thy sleep
G          C
Fondest, dearest to me
G         C   Am
While others their revels keep
G   D     G   G7
I will watch over thee.

Chorus:
C      G      Am      Em7
Slumber, my darling, the birds are at rest
Am    Em7     C       G
Wandering dews by the flow’rs are caressed
C      G       Am      Em7
Slumber, my darling
I’ll wrap thee up warm
  F       C      Em7     G7  C
And pray that the angels will shield thee from harm.



Verse :
C      G       Am       Em7
Slumber, my darling, till morn’s blushing ray
Am      Em7      C     G
Brings to the world the glad tidings of day
C       G       Am    Em7
Fill the dark void with thy dreamy delight
F      C      Em7    G7 C
Slumber, thy mother will guard thee to-night
G        C   Am
Thy pillow shall sacred be
G         C
From all outward alarms
G         C    Am
Thou, thou are the world to me
G    D    G   G7
In thine innocent charms.

And pray that the angels will shield thee from harm
