        | Gmaj7             | Dmaj7     | Gmaj7             | Dmaj7
Like some night bird homeward wingin', he seeks the sheltered nest

       | Gmaj7         | Dmaj7   | Gmaj7             | Dmaj7
Like the sailor's lost horizon, he needs some place to rest


  | A/B                           | G/A
The songs that he's been singin' no longer make much sense

        | G6                                | Em            G6/9
And those strangers cold perceptions, they've killed his confidence



CHORUS:
Chords:
Gmaj7  320002 or xx4433 or xx5432
Dmaj7  xx0222 or x57675


     | Dmaj7                     | Gmaj7
Nightingale, she sails away upon a sea of song

     | Dmaj7                         | Gmaj7
Nightingale, she serenades his lonely, lonely life along



BRIDGE:
Chords:
Em    022000
Bm    x24432
G6/9  x05430


       | Em           | Bm        | Em           | Bm
When his tired voice is broken, his golden hope is gone

          | Em               | Bm            | G6/9
She makes a lost soul's simple longing somehow not so wrong


     | Gmaj7 | Dmaj7
Nightingale

     | Gmaj7 | Dmaj7
Nightingale



VERSE2:
Chords:
Gmaj7  320002 or xx4433    G6    3x243x or x5545x
Dmaj7  xx0222 or x57675    A     x02433
A/B    x2222x              Em    022000
G/A    x05433              G6/9  x05430


     | Gmaj7           | Dmaj7      | Gmaj7           | Dmaj7
He was strong but he was taken by the thought of his success

    | Gmaj7                     | Dmaj7
Those spotlight shadows, how they lured him

  | Gmaj7               | Dmaj7
And took him like all the rest


  | A/B                                      | G/A
But that old dream don't look good now. No, it don't seem quite the same

 | G6            | F#m                  | Em       G6/9
He needs to hear a tender word, won't you sing him home again



[repeat CHORUS]



       | Em               | Bm       | Em             | Bm
When his strength is slowly going, his pride is all but gone

  | Em            | Bm              | G6/9
She makes a foolish dreamer listen to one last song
