                                                              (I must)
            C   G                     D   G                      
1. I must a-way now, I can no long-er tar-ry
                   C   G               D      
   This mor-ning's tem-pest, I have to cross
             G                   C    G
   I must be guid-ed, with-out a stum-ble
             C     G      D          G       C    G
   In-to the a-a-a-arms I love the | most  -   |     |

               C      G                      D    G
2. And when he ca-a-a-ame to his true love's dwel-ling,
                 C    G           D   
   He knelt down gent-ly, up-on a stone
                   G                      C   G
   And through her win-dow, he whis-pered low-ly
              C      G        D       G       C    G
   Is my true lo-o-o-ove with-in at | home  -   |     |

                 C  G                         D  G    
3. Wake up, wake up love it is thine own true lo-ver,
                 C   G              D      
   Wake up, wake up love and let me in,
            G                    C   G
   For I am tired love and oh so wea-ry,
                 C    G        D        G      C    G
   And more than near drenched to the | skin -   |     |

                    C     G                 D   G    
4. She's raised her u-u-u-up, her down soft pil-low,
                    C     G                     D      
   She's raised her u-u-u-up, and she's let him in,
                  G                     C   G
   And they were locked in, each other's a - arms,
               C    G         D          G      C    G
   Un-til that long night was past and | gone -   |     |

                 C    G                    D   G    
5. And when that long night was passed and o - ver
                C     G                 D      
   And when the small clouds, be-gan to grow,
                   G                        C    G
   He's tak-en her hand and they kissed and part-ed,
                        C     G         D         G    C    G
   Then he sad-dled and mount-ed, and a-way did | go -   |     |

            C   G                     D   G                      
1. I must a-way now, I can no long-er tar-ry
                   C   G               D      
   This mor-ning's tem-pest, I have to cross
             G                   C    G
   I must be guid-ed, with-out a stum-ble
             C     G         D        G  
   In-to the a-a-a-arms I... love the most...
