Capo 2 (all chords relative to capo) 

Am		   G		  Am
Waiting for the nightingale to sing
Am		G		G
Waiting for the harbor lights to dim
Am		   G		  Am
I've been on the outside lookin' in
Am		G		G
While the widow in the window waits for him. 

C		    Am
But he won't be back
C		    Am
Can't you realize that?
C		    Am		G
And he's laughing at your sorrow 

-
Am		   G		  Am
Waiting for a ship that won't come in
Am		G		G
Waiting for a tear to reach her chin
Am		G		G
I'm knockin', but she will not let me in. 

C		    Am
But he won't be back
C		    Am
Can't you realize that?

And he's laughing at your sorrow 
C			Am
How can I explain, your love is all in vain
G
While he wastes your precious hours

Of a lover that I can never be

I could fill your days with flowers.
