Intro: G7M D7M 

          G7M                D7M                            G7M                D7M 
 Like some night bird, homeward wingin'. He seeks the sheltered nest 
          G7M                D7M          G7M                D7M 
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                       F#m                               Em            A11                      
And those strangers' cold perceptions they've killed his confidence.  
        D7M                       G7M 
Nightingale. She sails away upon a sea of song 
      D7M                                  G7M 
Nightingale. She serenades his lonely, lonely life along 
          Em              Bm                         Em           Bm 
When his tired voice is broken, his golden hope is gone 
           Em                       Bm                            A11 
She makes a lost soul's simple longing, somehow not so wrong 
     D7M     G7M     D7M      G7M 
Nightingale          Nightingale    
       G7M                   D7M                 G7M                   D7M 
He was strong, but he was taken. By the thought of his success 
      G7M                          D7M                              G7M                      D7M   
Those spotlight shadows, how they lured him 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         A11 
He needs to hear a tender word, won't you sing him home again 
     D7M                                G7M 
Nightingale. She sails away upon a sea of song 
     D7M                                   G7M 
Nightingale. She serenades his lonely, lonely life along 
          Em                Bm                         Em             Bm    
When his strength is slowly goin' his pride is all but gone 
       Em             Bm                               A11 
She makes a foolish dreamer listen to one last song 
     D7M     G7M     D7M      G7M 
Nightingale          Nightingale
