Nightingale Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][D][G][D]

[Verse 1]
Like some [G]night
bird homeward [D]wingin
[G]He seeks the sheltered [D]nest
Like [G]the sailor's lost hori[D]zon,
He [G]needs some place to [D]rest
[A]The songs that he's been singin'
No [Bm]longer [G]mak[Asus4]e much sense
And [G]those stranger's cold
percep[F#m]tions
They've [Em]killed his [Asus4]confid ence
Night[D]ingale,
she sails [G]away upon a sea of song
Nightin[D]gale, she serenades his lonely,
[G]lonely life along
When his [Em]tired voice is [Bm]broken
His [Em]golden hope is [Bm]gone
[Em]She makes a lost soul's
simple [Bm]longing
somehow [Asus4]not so wrong

[Interlude 1]
Nightingale, nightingale
[D][G][D][G]

[Verse 2]
He was [G]strong, but he was [D]taken
By [G]the thought of his suc[D]cess
[G]Those spotlights shadows
How they [D]lured him [G]and
took him like all the [D]rest
But [A]that old dream don't look good now
[Bm]No it do[Asus4]n't seem quite the same
He [G]needs to hear a [F#m]tender word
Won't [Em]you sing him home
[Asus4]again
[D]Nightingale, she sails away
[G]up on a sea of song
Nightin[D]gale, she serenades his lonely,
[G]lonely life along
When his [Em]strength is slowly go[Bm]ing,
His [Em]pride is all but [Bm]gone
She makes [Em]a foolish dreamer
[Bm]listen to [Asus4]one last song
[D]Nightingale [G]ooh sing
sweet night[D]ingale
Oh, [G]na, na, na, na
Night[D]ingale [G]ooh [D]sing sweet nightingale
