They [E]
[F#]
[A] [E]
whisper their stories and glance with their eyes
They look [A] over their shoulders [F#m] as I [B] pass them by
[E] My friends and relations, [C#m] they treat me the [G#m] [B]
same
Hear their [E] nightingale crying, [F#] in shame, love, in shame
[E]
[F#m] [E]
Cling to me tight, love, [A] take hold [E] of my hand
[A] For the road it is long, love, [F#m] and harsh [B] is the land
[E] That's the cross we must carry, [C#m] for having [G#m] no [B]
name
Hear their nightingale crying, [F#] in shame, love, [E] in shame
[Em]
[B] [E] I had wings to my feet, [A] and of love [E] I had dreams
[A] Oh, the moon and the [E] stars, [F#m] how friendly [B] they seemed
[E] The touch of his hand [C#] in the soft [G#m] summer [B]
rain
Hear their nightingale crying, [F#] in shame, [E] love, in shame
[C] [F]
Once in the starlight, [A#] when he held [F] me close
[A#] Down by the green [F] meadow, [Gm] where grows a [C] wild rose
[F] The wind sang of love, oh [D] how soft [Am] its refrain
[C]
[F] Hear their [C] nightingale crying, [Gm] in shame, [F] love, in shame
[A#] [F] Now hush, little darling, we [A#] soon will [F] be there
[A#] And a blanket of love [Gm] will surround you [C] with care
[F] No vile tongues will whisper, [Dm] you'll never [Am] feel pain
[C]
[F] Hear their [C] nightingale crying, [Gm] in shame, [F] love, in [C] shame
[F]
[C#] [F#] How mute are the birds now, my bonnie young boy
[B] How deep [F#] is the river, [G#] how silent [C#] your cries
[F#] Let the water baptize you, [D#m] and we'll both [A#m] bear her name
[C#]
Hear their [F#] [C#] nightingale sing, [G#] there's no shame, [G#m] love, no [F#] shame
