G6: 3x243x
Intro: Gmaj7 Dmaj7
Gmaj7 Dmaj7
Like some night bird, homeward wingin'
Gmaj7 Dmaj7
He seeks the sheltered nest
Gmaj7 Dmaj7
Like the sailor's lost horizon
Gmaj7 Dmaj7
He needs some place to rest
A/B
The songs that he's been singin'
G/A
No longer make much sense
G6 F#m
And those strangers' cold perceptions
Em A11
They've killed his confidence
Dmaj7
Nightingale
Gmaj7
She sails away upon a sea of song
Dmaj7
Nightingale
Gmaj7
She serenades his lonely, lonely life along
Em Bm
When his tired voice is broken
Em Bm
His golden hope is gone
Em Bm
She makes a lost soul's simple longing
A11
Somehow not so wrong
Dmaj7 Gmaj7
Nightingale
Dmaj7 Gmaj7
Nightingale
Gmaj7 Dmaj7
He was strong, but he was taken
Gmaj7 Dmaj7
By the thought of his success
Gmaj7 Dmaj7
Those spotlight shadows, how they lured him
Gmaj7 Dmaj7
And took him like all the rest
A/B
But that old dream don't look good now
G/A
No, it don't seem quite the same
G6 F#m
He needs to hear a tender word
Em A11
Won't you sing him home again
Dmaj7
Nightingale
Gmaj7
She sails away upon a sea of song
Dmaj7
Nightingale
Gmaj7
She serenades his lonely, lonely life along
Em Bm
When his strength is slowly goin'
Em Bm
His pride is all but gone
Em Bm
She makes a foolish dreamer listen
A11
To one last song
Dmaj7 Gmaj7
