Gmaj7Dmaj7 Like some night bird, homeward wingin' Gmaj7Dmaj7 He seeks the sheltered nest Gmaj7Dmaj7 Like the sailor's lost horizon Gmaj7Dmaj7 He needs some place to rest A/B The songs that he's been singin' G/A No longer make much sense G6F#m And those strangers' cold perceptions EmA11 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
EmBm When his tired voice is broken EmBm His golden hope is gone EmBm She makes a lost soul's simple longing A11 Somehow not so wrong
Dmaj7Gmaj7 Nightingale Dmaj7Gmaj7 Nightingale
Gmaj7Dmaj7 He was strong, but he was taken Gmaj7Dmaj7 By the thought of his success Gmaj7Dmaj7 Those spotlight shadows, how they lured him Gmaj7Dmaj7 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 G6F#m He needs to hear a tender word EmA11 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 EmBm When his strength is slowly goin' EmBm His pride is all but gone EmBm She makes a foolish dreamer listen A11 To one last song
