[D]
[G] [D]
Like [G] some night bird [D] homeward winging,
[G] He seeks the [D] sheltered nest,
[G] Like the cellar's [D] lost horizon,
[G] Beneath some [D] place to rest,
The [B] songs that he's been [A] singing
[D] No longer make much sense,
[G] And those strangers' cold [F#m] perceptions
[Em] They've killed his [G] confidence,
[D] Nightingale, she sails on a sea of song,
Nightingale, she serenades his [G] lonely, lonely life along,
When [Em] his tired voice [Bm] is broken, [Em] his golden hope [Bm] is gone,
She [Em] makes a lost soul's [Bm] simple longing,
Somehow [G] or not so wrong,
[D] Nightingale,
[G] [D]
she [G] was strong, [D] but he was taken,
By [G] the plot of his [D] success,
[G] Those spotlight shadows, [D]
how they moored him,
[G] And took him like [D] all the rest,
[B] But that old dream don't look like, [A] no it don't seem quite the same,
[G] He needs to hear [F#m] a tender word, [Em] won't you sing him [G] home again,
[D] Nightingale, she sails on a sea of song,
Nightingale, she serenades his lonely, lonely life along,
When [Em] his strength is [Bm] slowly going, [Em] his pride is [Bm] all but gone,
She makes a [Em] foolish [Bm] dreamer listen, [G] to one last song,
[D] Nightingale, who [G] sings good [A] night again,
[G]
