Slumber My Darling chords
Stephen Foster* (published in 1962)

C Am C Am C  Am C G C

C           Am           C      Am C
Slumber, my darling, thy mother is near,
Am           C               Am         G
Guarding thy dreams from all terror and fear,
C            Am             C        Am  C
Sunlight has pass'd and the twilight has gone,
Am          C            G              C
Slumber, my darling, the night's coming on.

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

C           Am           C         Am C
Slumber, my darling, the birds are at rest,
Am            C           Am             G
The wandering dews by the flow'rs are caressed,
C           Am            C         Am C
Slumber, my darling, I'll wrap thee up warm,
    Am            C           G                C
And pray that the angels will shield thee from harm. 

C Am C Am C  Am C Am G  C Am C Am C  Am C G C

C           Am            C      Am       C
Slumber, my darling, till morn's blushing ray
Am            C              Am         G
Brings to the world the glad tidings of day;
C        Am                 C      Am C
Fill the dark void with thy dreamy delight
Am           C           G            C
Slumber, thy mother will guard thee tonight

G          C        G   C
Thy pillow shall sacred be
G        C       G C
From all outward alarms;
G                  C     G  C
Thou, thou are the world to me
G        D        G      G7
In thine innocent charms. 

C           Am           C         Am C
Slumber, my darling, the birds are at rest,
    Am        C           Am            G
The wandering dews by the flow'rs are caressed,
C           Am            C         Am C
Slumber, my darling, I'll wrap thee up warm,
    Am            C           G                C
And pray that the angels will shield thee from harm

Am C G C
