(C major)
(G major) At our (C major) fireside, (G major) sad and (C major) lonely

Sleep today, (G major) (D major) (G major) oh,early fallen
In thy (D major) green and narrow (G major) bed

Mingle (D major) with the tears we (G major) shed
Verse 9
We shall meet, (C major) but we shall miss him
(G major) There will be one vacant chair
We shall (C major) linger to (F major) caress him
When (D major) we breathe our (D major) evening (C major) prayer
(F major) (C major)
