G             C
Oft, in the stilly night
       G                  D   G
Ere Slumber's chain has bound me
   G   G7     C
Fond Memory brings the light
     G          D    G
Of other days around me
      G
The smiles, the tears
     D         G
Of boyhood's years
      Em      C         D  G
The words of love then spoken
     G
The eyes that shone
       C        G
Now dimm'd and gone
       Em      C         D  G
The cheerful hearts now broken

[Chorus]

G     G7        C
Thus, in the stilly night
       G                   D   G
Ere Slumber's chain hath bound me
G    G7      C
Sad Memory brings the light
     G           D   G
Of other days around me

[Verse 2]

G         C
When I remember all
       G                 D   G
The friends, so link'd together
G     G7     C
I've seen around me fall
       G               D   G
Like leaves in wintry weather
    G
I feel like one
       D     G
Who treads alone
       Em     C    D    G
Some banquet-hall deserted
        G
Whose lights are fled
         D      Em
Whose garlands dead
     G          D    G
And all but he departed

[Chorus] 

G     G7       C
Thus, in the stilly night
       G                   D   G
Ere Slumber's chain hath bound me
G     G7     C
Sad Memory brings the light
     G           D    G
Of other days around me
