_ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
In [Bb] the midnight blue, a [Am] _
[Gm] nightingale _ appears _ _ _ A [Cm] voice that leads me down the vista [Bb] _ of [F] my
_ years Stopping [Bb] long to see a face [F] I [Bb] used to know _ _ _ _
[Cm] Of a girl who gave [Eb] her love to me [C] long ago [Fm] _ _ And [Dm] _ when, [Gm] in the dead of night, [Eb] a songbird
_ [F] sings [Dm] The moonlit air [Bb] carries nothing [A] but a hollow
_ _ [D] _ ring [Gm] Of a _ [D] bittersweet _ [Gb] memory [Fm] ever tender on [C] my
mind [D] Of love I once [Dm] believed would [Ab] stand the test
of time _ _ [F] When love was _ blind _
[Bb] And yes, _ _ _ _ _ [D] I'm not the [G] idle dreamer [Cm] of my youth [B] I've _ _
_ [Eb] walked the [F] narrow mile that [D] lies between
_ the [Bb] truth _ [Cm] Fairy _ [Ab] tale
_ [F] Oh, [Bb] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _
_ [Abm] _ night [G] innocent I [Cm] used to be [B] _ _ _
[Eb] My sorrows [F] made wise a [Am] man of _ [D] me
[Gm] But the [Bb] teardrops [Eb] have left a trail _ _ [Fm] Haunted by the [Cm] song of the _ [Eb] _ _
_ [G] _ nightingale
_ _ [D] _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Bb] From a twilight sleep I [F] wake [Gm] But she's not there _ _ _
[C] I hear her softly breathing _ _
[Eb] I [F] could swear _
[Dm] I feel [Gm] her open lips [Cm] still pressed to [F] mine _ [Fm] Her [Dm] loveliness _ _ [Gm] _ unravished by [A] passage of time
[D] _ _ I [Gm] hear the message [Gb] of an angel _
[Fm] singing in the [C] dark
_ _ [Eb] _
A blade of strain [Bb] that stirs the [Ab] embers of my [F] heart
_ [C] _ _
_ [Bb] Yes, _ [Am] _ _ _ _
[Ab] _ I'm not the [G] idle _ dreamer of [Cm] my youth [B] I've _ _
_ [Eb] _ walked the [F] narrow mile that lies [D] between
[Gm] the [Bb] truth And [Cm] a fairy tale
[Ab] _ [F] Oh, _
_ [Bb] _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ night [Fm] innocent _ [G] I used [Cm] to be [B] _ _ _
[Eb] My sorrows [F] made [Fm] wise a [A] man of [D] me
[Gm] But the teardrops [Eb] have left a trail _ _ Haunted by [Gb] the song [C] of the _
[Cm] _ nightingale
