Intro: Gmaj7 Dmaj7

          Gmaj7 (xx5432@1)              Dmaj7Like (xx0222@1)some night bird, homeward wingin'
    Gmaj7 (xx5432@1)              Dmaj7He (xx0222@1)seeks the sheltered nest
         Gmaj7 (xx5432@1)             Dmaj7Like (xx0222@1)the sailor's lost horizon
    Gmaj7 (xx5432@1)             Dmaj7He (xx0222@1)needs some place to rest
  A/B (002520@1) 
The songs that he's been singin'
  G/A
No longer make much sense
  G6 (320000@1)                     F#mAnd (244222@1)those strangers' cold perceptions
      Em (022000@1)          A11They've (x00000@1)killed his confidence


      Dmaj7 (xx0222@1) 
Nightingale
                    Gmaj7She (xx5432@1)sails away upon a sea of song

      Dmaj7 (xx0222@1)
Nightingale
                            Gmaj7She (xx5432@1)serenades his lonely, lonely life along

          Em (022000@1)            BmWhen (x24432@1)his tired voice is broken
         Em (022000@1)         BmHis (x24432@1)golden hope is gone
           Em (022000@1)                     BmShe (x24432@1)makes a lost soul's simple longing
        A11Somehow (x00000@1)not so wrong

     Dmaj7 (xx0222@1)      Gmaj7Nightingale (xx5432@1)     Dmaj7 (xx0222@1)      Gmaj7Nightingale (xx5432@1)
       Gmaj7 (xx5432@1)             Dmaj7He (xx0222@1)was strong, but he was taken
      Gmaj7 (xx5432@1)             Dmaj7By (xx0222@1)the thought of his success
      Gmaj7 (xx5432@1)                    Dmaj7Those (xx0222@1)spotlight shadows, how they lured him
      Gmaj7 (xx5432@1)             Dmaj7And (xx0222@1)took him like all the rest

     A/BBut (002520@1)that old dream don't look good now
   G/ANo, (320203@1)it don't seem quite the same
      G6 (320000@1)          F#mHe (244222@1)needs to hear a tender word
          Em (022000@1)       A11Won't (x00000@1)you sing him home again

          Em (022000@1)              BmWhen (x24432@1)his strength is slowly goin'
       Em (022000@1)           Bm (x24432@1) 
His pride is all but gone
       Em (022000@1)           BmShe (x24432@1)makes a foolish dreamer listen
  A11
To one last song
