Intro: The first couplet's chords can be used as an intro.  

1st Couplet  
Bm     A/C#     D  
Upon a darkened night  
     G       D/F#     Em      A      D 
the flame of love was burning in my breast  
    Bm   A/C#    D  
And by a lantern bright  
   G      D/D#        Em      A    D  
I fled my house while all in quiet rest  

2nd Couplet  
 Bm      G      D/F#  
Shrouded by the night  
    G      D/F#    Em              A  
and by the secret stair I quickly fled  
    Bm       G        A  
The veil concealed my eyes  
      Bm     G       D/F#  A      D  
while all within lay quiet as the dead  


[Refrão]
Bm A/C# D Oh night thou was my guide Bm G D/F# A Bm oh night more loving than the rising sun Bm G D/F# Oh night that joined the lover A to the beloved one Bm G D A D transforming each of them into the other Bm A/C# D Upon that misty night G D/F# Em A D In secrecy, beyond such mortal sight G A/C# D Without a guide or light G D/F# Em A D Than that which burned so deeply in my heart
[Refrão]
Bm G D/F# That fire t'was led me on G D/F# Em A And shone more bright than of the midday sun Bm G A To where he waited still Bm G D/F# A D It was a place where no one else could come Bm A/C# D Oh night thou was my guide Bm G D/F# A Bm oh night more loving than the rising sun Bm G D/F# Oh night that joined the lover A to the beloved one Bm G D/F# A D transforming each of them into the other G A/D# D Within my pounding heart G D/F# Em A D which kept itself entirely for him G A/C# D He fell into his sleep G D/F# Em A D beneath the cedars all my love I gave Bm G D/F# And by the fortress walls G D/F# Em A the wind would brush his hair against his brow Bm G A And with its smoothest hand Bm G D/F# A D caressed my every sense it would allow
[Refrão]
Bm A/C# D Oh night thou was my guide Bm G D/F# A Bm oh night more loving than the rising sun Bm G D/F# Oh night that joined the lover A to the beloved one Bm G D/F# A D transforming each of them into the other Bm A/C# D I lost myself to him G D/F# Em A D and laid my face upon my lovers breast Bm A/C# D And care and grief grew dim G D/F# Em A D as in the mornings mist became the light Bm G D/F# A D There they dimmed amongst the lilies fair Bm G D/F# A Bm There they dimmed amongst the lilies fair Bm G D/F# A D There they dimmed amongst the lilies fair.
