The Dark Night Of The Soul

Intro: The first couplet's chords can be used as an intro. 

1st Couplet 
Bm     A        Bm 
Upon a darkened night 
   G        D        G                A 
the flame of love was burning in my breast 
Bm       A       Bm 
And by a lantern bright 
  G      D            G      A      D 
I fled my house while all in quiet rest 

2nd Couplet 
Bm       G      D 
Shrouded by the night 
G          D       G      D        A 
and by the secret stair I quickly fled 
Bm           G        D 
The veil concealed my eyes 
Bm           G    D       A       D 
while all within lay quiet as the dead 

Bm           A       Bm 
Oh night thou was my guide 
Bm            G      D         A     Bm 
oh night more loving than the rising sun 
Bm            G          D 
Oh night that joined the lover 
          D 
to the beloved one 
Bm           G       D      A      D 
transforming each of them into the other

 Upon that misty night 
in secrecy, beyond such mortal sight 
Without a guide or light 
than that which burned so deeply in my heart 

That fire t'was led me on 
and shone more bright than of the midday sun 
To where he waited still 
it was a place where no one else could come 

Chorus 

Within my pounding heart 
which kept itself entirely for him 
He fell into his sleep 
beneath the cedars all my love I gave 
And by the fortress walls 
the wind would brush his hair against his brow 
And with its smoothest hand 
caressed my every sense it would allow 

Chorus 

 Bm     A        Bm 
I lost myself to him 
     G       D     G              A 
and laid my face upon my lovers breast 
 Bm            A        Bm 
And care and grief grew dim 
  G        D        G      A        D 
as in the mornings mist became the light 

Bm           G       D         A      Bm 
There they dimmed amongst the lilies fair 

Bm          G       D          A       Bm 
There they dimmed amongst the lilies fair 

Bm          G       D          A      D 
There they dimmed amongst the lilies fair.
