This is my fingerstyle arrangement of the hymn "Abide with Me" composed by William Henry Monk. All the notes I've written are eighth notes, except the notes at the end of measures 8, 12, and 16. Those notes are half notes, and it sounds good if you strum those ones. The chord at the end of measure 16 is an optional chord you can play during the last repeat. I meant this to be played as an instrumental, but I've included the lyrics of the first verse to help with timing. e|-2-------2---0---|---------5-------|-7---5---5---3---|-2-------------2-| B|---3---3---2---2-|-3---------3---3-|---8---7---3---2-|---3---3-----3---| G|-----2-----------|---4---4-----2---|-0---------------|-----2-----2-----| D|-0-----------2---|-----4---4-------|-----0---4---2---|-0-------0-------| A|---------0-------|-2---------------|-----------------|-----------------| E|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------| "A - bide with me; fast falls the e - ven tide. e|-2-------3---5---|-7-------5-------|-3---0---2---4---|-5---------------| B|---3---3---3---3-|---8---8---7---7-|---3---2---3---5-|---5-------------| G|-----2-----------|-0---7-------7---|-------------4---|-----6-4---------| D|-0---------------|---------0-------|-2-------0-------|---------7-------| A|---------2---0---|-----------------|-----4-----------|-0-------7-------| E|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|---------5-------| The darkness deep - ens; Lord, with me a - bide. e|-2-------2---0---|---------5-------|-7---5---3---2---|-0---------------| B|---3---3---2---2-|-3---------3---3-|---8---7---4---4-|---0---0---------| G|-----2-----------|---4---4-----2---|-0-------4---2---|-----0-----------| D|-0-----------2---|-----4---4-------|-----0-----------|-2-------2-------| A|---------0-------|-2---------------|-----------------|---------2-------| E|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|---------0-------| When other help - ers fail and comforts flee, e|-0-------2---3---|-2---0-------3---|-2-------0-------|------------(10)-| B|---2---2---3---2-|---3---2-3-----3-|---3---3---2---2-|-3----------(7)--| G|-----2-----------|-----2-----4-----|-----2-------0---|---2--------(7)--| D|-----------------|-0-------4---2---|-0-------2-------|-0---4-2-0--(7)--| A|-----------------|-----------------|-----0-------0---|-----------------| E|-3-------2---0---|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------| Help of the helpless, O a - bide with me." ************************************ | (n) Ghost note ************************************
