[Intro 1]
[Am]
Dark comes [Dm]down like a

[Verse 1]
[Am]bird in [Dm]flight
[F]Most good [Dm]people have [F]gone [Am]to rest
But us poor [Dm]fools who [Am]wake at [Dm]night
[F]When [Dm]we're lonely, we [F]sing our be[E]st
[Am]Listen and hark,[G] out i[C]n the dark[G]
A [F]mockingbird [Dm]in a[F] tall tr[E]ee
[Am]Busts his thro[G]at on a high[C] sweet note[G]
[F]Nobody kno[Dm]ws he's the[F]re but me[Esus4][E]
He [Am]sings his [Dm]best when
[Am]nobody's [Dm]listening
[F]Nobody's [Dm]liste[Am]ning
[Dm]
[Am]
But me
Dark comes [Dm]down like a [Am]heron's [Dm]wing
[F]Honeysuc[Dm]kle is [F]in the air[Am]
That's when [Dm]I like to [Am]sit and sing[Dm]
[F]Nobody lis[Dm]tens, but[F] I don't car[E]e
[Am]Out in a swamp[G], by a firef[C]ly ramp[G]
[F]An old frog [Dm]fiddles his [F]double [E]bass
[Am]Over the h[G]ill, a whipp[C]oorwill
[G]Sin[F]gs her[Dm] note from a
[F]secret [E]race[Esus4][E]
She [Am]sings [Dm]her best when [Am]nobody's
[Dm]listening
Nobody's listening
But [F]me
We sing our best when nobody's
[Dm]listening
Nobody's listening
[Am]But me
Dark comes down like a bird in flight
Most [Dm]good people[Am]
have gone to rest
But us poor fools who wake at night
When we're lonely, we sing
our best
Listen and hark, out in the dark
A mockingbird in a tall tree
Busts his throat on a high sweet note
Nobody knows he's there but me
He sings his best when nobody's
listening
Nobody's listening
But me
Dark comes down
like a heron's wing
Honeysuckle is in the air
That's when I like to sit and sing
Nobody listens, but I don't
care
Out in a swamp, by a firefly ramp
An old frog fiddles his double bass
Over the hill, a whippoorwill
Sings her note from a secret race
She sings her best when nobody's
listening
Nobody's listening
But me
We sing our best when
nobody's listening
Nobody's listening
(End)
