Intro: Gmaj7 Dmaj7

Like some [Gmaj7]night bird, homeward [Dmaj7]wingin'
He s[Gmaj7]eeks the sheltered ne[Dmaj7]st
Like the [Gmaj7]sailor's lost horizo[Dmaj7]n
He n[Gmaj7]eeds some place to r[Dmaj7]est
Th[A/B]e songs that he's been singin'
No[G/A] longer make much sense
An[G6]d those strangers' cold p[F#m]erceptions
They'v[Em]e killed his c[A11]onfidence

Nighti[Dmaj7]ngale
She sails away upon [Gmaj7]a sea of song

Nighti[Dmaj7]ngale
She serenades his lonely, lo[Gmaj7]nely life along

When his t[Em]ired voice is br[Bm]oken
His golde[Em]n hope is gon[Bm]e
She makes a[Em] lost soul's simple longi[Bm]ng
Somehow [A11]not so wrong

Night[Dmaj7]ingale[Gmaj7]
Night[Dmaj7]ingale[Gmaj7]

He was [Gmaj7]strong, but he was t[Dmaj7]aken
By the[Gmaj7] thought of his succ[Dmaj7]ess
Those [Gmaj7]spotlight shadows, how they[Dmaj7] lured him
And to[Gmaj7]ok him like all the [Dmaj7]rest

But t[A/B]hat old dream don't look good now
No,[G/A] it don't seem quite the same
He nee[G6]ds to hear a t[F#m]ender word
Won't you [Em]sing him ho[A11]me again

Night[Dmaj7]ingale
She sails away upon a se[Gmaj7]a of song
Night[Dmaj7]ingale
She serenades his lonely, l[Gmaj7]onely life along
When his s[Em]trength is slowly [Bm]goin'
His pri[Em]de is all but g[Bm]one
She mak[Em]es a foolish dr[Bm]eamer listen
To[A11] one last song
