[Verse]
  G     D             G     D
I must away, love, no longer tarry
             G  D   G          D
This roaring tempest I have to cross
  G       A                Bm
I must be guided without a fall
         G      A        D
Into the arms I love the best

[Verse]
G       D                G     D
When he came to his true love's dwelling
                G   D G       D
He's knelt down gently upon a stone
G           A                     Bm
Through the window he's whispered soft
            G         A     D
"Is my true lover within at home?"

[Verse]
                 G             D
She's raised her up from off her pillow
      G          A               D
She's raised her up from off her bed
                G                      D
And through the window she's whispered soft
                          A          D
"Who's that disturbing my own night's rest?"

[Verse]
               G   D               G        D
"Wake up, wake up, love, it's your own true lover
              G   D         G      D
Wake up, wake up, love, and let me in
    G       A                     Bm
Oh, how the wind blows and how it rains
         G            A      D
Oh, I am wet, love, unto the skin"

[Verse]
                 G             D
She's raised her up from off her pillow
      G          A              D
She's raised her up and let him in
          G                     D
They were locked in each other's arms
                         A          D
Until the long night was passed and gone

[Verse]
    G        D              G          D
And when the long night was passed and gone
         G    D            G     D
When the dark clouds, they did divide
     G           A                     Bm
He's leaned down gently and kissed her soft
           G       A       D
He saddled up and away did ride

[Outro]
             Em7       A                  D
He's mounted up on his horse and away did ride
             Em7       A                  D
He's mounted up on his horse and away did ride
