This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

FULL SONG LYRICS

~CHORUS~

Nightingale

Sing us a song

Of a love that once belonged

Nightingale

Tell me your tale

Was your journey far too long?

~VERSE 1~

Does it seem like I'm looking for an answer

To a question I can't ask

I don't know which way the feather falls

Or if I should blow it to the left

~CHORUS~

~VERSE 2~

All the voices that are spinnin' around me

Trying to tell me what to say

Can I fly right behind you

And you can take me away

~BRIDGE~

~VERSE 2~

~OUTRO~
