E G#m                A  B A 
We...in our present life
E  G#m                     A   F#7 B7 
Knew...that the stars were right
   E               B 
So if you are the first to go
       C#m             F# 
You'll leave a sign to let me know
                  E    E7 
Oh, tell me so, please
                   A   F#7 B  A 
Carry the lantern light
E  G#m                  A   B A 
You...cross the sea of night
E  G#m                    A   F#7 B7 
Free...from the spell of flight
       E                   B 
Your cloak you wear is a spirit shroud
       C#m             F# 
You'll wake me in my sleeping hours
                E    E7 
Like a cloud, please
                   A  F#7 B  A 
Carry the lantern high
E G#m              A   B A 
Me...in my sorry plight
E G#m               A   F#7 B7 
You...waiting every night
    E               B 
My face it turns a deathly pale
        C#m            F# 
You're talking to me through your veil
                      E    E7 
I hear you wail, so please
                   A   F#7 B  A 
Carry the lantern light
     E                   B 
The servants sleep, the doors are barred
    C#m               F# 
You hear the stopping of my heart
                     E    E7                   A 
You never part, so please...carry the lantern high!
