Carter Family - The Spirit Of Love Watches Over Me Chords

[Intro]

[Verse 1]
          G
There are gongs from a gage
       D7
Like a beautiful dream
      D7
And I seek there in vain
       G
By the meadow and stream
      G
Oft I breathe out your name
       D7
To the wind floating by
        D7
But the sweet voice is
          G
New to my cry

[Verse 2]
       G
In the stillness of night
         D7
When the stars mildly shine
   D7
My heart fondly holds
    G
A communion with God
      G
For I feel though art near
          D7
And where e’er I may be
         D7
That the spirit of love
        G
Watches me

[Verse 3]
        G
Oft the birds in the bower
       D7
Now companions I make
      D7
Every simple wild flower
                G
I prize for the sake
     G
Deep woods and dark clouds
      D7
Can a pleasure impart
        D7
For the solitude
              G
Suits my poor heart

[Verse 4]
           G
Though art gone from a gage
      D7
And I will not repine
     D7
Here lonely shall meet
     G
In a home that is thine
      G
For I feel though art near
          D7
And where e’er I may be
         D7
That the spirit of love
        G
Watches me
