Then strum individual strings on the C chord.

[C]Yesterday I th[Am]ought that I walked al[C]one
And that l[Am]ove was just a m[G]emory
But a ni[C]ghting[Am]ale followed me back ho[C]me
And my l[F]ove was wa[G]iting there for [C]me
I had lo[C]st my fa[Am]ith as lovers often [C]do
When the st[Am]orm clouds gather over h[G]ead
But the ni[C]ghting[Am]ale sang a note so t[C]rue
That I k[F]new I'd lo[G]st my fear inst[C]ead
And to t[C]hink that [Am]I said love was for fo[C]ols
And that t[C]ime would n[Am]ever heal the[F]se old wo[G]unds
But the nig[C]hting[Am]ale saved a prayer for [C]me
In the twi[F]light he pl[G]ayed a faithful tu[C]ne
I have he[C]ard the l[Am]ark over in the va[C]le
And I've he[Am]ard the lonesome whippo-w[G]ill
But the swe[C]etest s[Am]ong is the nightin-g[C]ale's
And I k[F]now I'll ne[G]ver get my f[C]ill
And to th[C]ink that [Am]I said love was for fo[C]ols
And that t[C]ime would n[Am]ever heal the[F]se old wo[G]unds
But the nig[C]hting[Am]ale saved a prayer for [C]me
In the twi[F]light he pl[G]ayed a faithful tu[C]ne
But the ni[C]ghtin[Am]gale saved a prayer for [C]me
In the twi[F]light he pl[G]ayed a faithful tu[C]ne[D7][G7][C]
