Nightingale Chords & Lyrics by SAVES THE DAY
Nightingale
guitar chords lyrics
I can't believe that no-one has tabbed this song so far! But here are the chords
The verses are basically E and G#m (with a little brush of F# just before changing
between the two (you can here it on the song) but I would say that if you are a novice then
just ignore the F#s in the verses (apart from the last one (which leads in to the chorus)
I spend ages lining up the chord names over the right lyrics - but in pasting it in to
this online submission for it sometimes messes about with that a bit - so apologies if
they appear a tiny bit off line - but I've tried!
Anyway - this is of Stay What You Are (in my opinion the only genuinely perfect thing in
this word). Peace, Ben
Verse
E G#m
And I will flail under these lights,
E G#m
that seep down from the bitter sky tonight
F# E F# G#m
and I will kick and beat my wrists together
F# E F# G#m F#
and feel an ocean breathing waves, feel them licking at my face.
E F# G#m
Ceilings don't exist and there are no floors beneath me.
F# E G#m F#
If I were king of this night, would you become my queen?
Chorus
E B F# G#m F# E
And I hope, your majesty that you like your position.
B F# G#m F# E
I'll do everything I can to keep you by my side
B F# G#m F# E
and I'll stare off through the darkness to find us a kingdom.
B F#
Just kiss me before I go
Verse
E F# G#m F# E
I'll have to walk a thousand miles
F# G#m F# E
just to find the ground deserving of your feet.
F# G#m F# E
You could throw me down and walk on me
G#m F#
and I'd just look on through my love and through the haze.
Chorus
E B F# G#m F# E
And I hope, your majesty that you like your position.
B F# G#m F# E
I'll do everything I can to keep you by my side

Just kiss me before I go
Bridge
E G#m E
The nightingales are singing now
G#m F# E G#m E
They're calling out our marriage to our subjects on their knees
G#m F# E
Their jewellery is thrown into the air
G#m E
They sigh at their release as their shackles hit the ground
G#m F#
The trumpets call out now, we're home at last
Chorus
E B F# G#m F# E
And I hope, your majesty that you like your position.
B F# G#m F# E
I'll do everything I can to keep you by my side
B F# G#m F# E
and I'll stare off through the darkness to find us a kingdom.
B F#
Just kiss me before I go
