Song: | This is a great song by the same composer that wrote "beautiful dreamer." The Allison Krauss version is awesome, and it's much slower than the midi I posted. 1. 5 -4 4 -4 5 -4 4 -5 -6 6 Slum-ber my dar-ling, thy moth-er is near, 7 -7 -6 6 -5 5 5 -5 4 -4 Guard-ing thy dreams from all ter-ror and fear. 5 -4 4 -4 5 -4 4 5 -6 6 Sun-light has past and the twi-light has gone, -6 -7 7 7 -4 -4 5 -4 4 4 Slum-ber my dar-ling, the night's com-ing on. 6 -4 6 -5 5 6 7 Sweet vis-ions at-tend thy sleep, -4 -4 -4 6 -5 5 Fond-est, dear-est to me, 6 -4 6 -5 5 6 7 While oth-ers their rev-els keep, -7 -7 -6 -7 -6 6 I will watch ov-er thee. Refrain: 5 -4 4 -4 5 -4 4 5 -6 6 Slum-ber, my darl-ing, the birds are at rest, 7 -7 -6 6 -5 5 5 -4 4 -4 Wan-der-ing dews by the flowers are car-essed, 5 -4 4 -4 5 -4 4 5 -6 6 Slum-ber, my darl-ing, I'll wrap thee up warm, -6 -7 7 7 4 -4 5 -4 4 4 Pray that the an-gels will shield thee from harm. 2. Slumber my darling, till morn's blushing ray Brings to the world the glad tidings of day: Fill the dark void with thy dreamy delight-- Slumber, thy mother will guard thee to-night. Thy pillow shall sacred be From all outward alarms; Thou, thou are the world to me In thine innocent charms. Refrain: |
