verse 1 

G 
Oh Mother dear 
       C              G 
What a night this has been 
                                    Em 
I awoke in the light of a vision in white 
    A                   G      D    G 
The prettiest girl that I have ever seen 
G                        C       G 
Lately my love, said the lady in white 
                                            Em 
I have watched from afar, but love draws me near 
    A                  D             Em 
Now take my hand, hold tight, Mother dear 
       G                    A            Em 
Do you know what this could mean, Mother dear 
       G            Em     A   D         G 
Was it just another dream         in the night 

verse 2 
G                    C           G 
Mother dear, on that same silver night 
                                     Em 
Saw a figure in black by the lady in white 
   A                 D             Em    A 
He said his name was death, was he right 
       G                    A            Em 
Do you know what this could mean, Mother dear 
       A            D            Em 
Was it just another dream in the night 
       G            Em     A   D         G 
Was it just another dream         in the night

Was it just another dream     in the night

Mother dear, what a night this has been

It's so cold by your side, no don't cry, can't you see 
          A            D              Em   A
