Nightingale

Carole King

 Gmaj7Dmaj7
Like some night bird, homeward wingin'
 Gmaj7Dmaj7
He seeks the sheltered nest
 Gmaj7Dmaj7
Like the sailor's lost horizon
 Gmaj7Dmaj7
He needs some place to rest
 A/B
The songs that he's been singin'
 G/A
No longer make much sense
 G6F#m
And those strangers' cold perceptions
 EmA11
They've killed his confidence

 Dmaj7
Nightingale
 Gmaj7
She sails away upon a sea of song

 Dmaj7
Nightingale
 Gmaj7
She serenades his lonely, lonely life along

 EmBm
When his tired voice is broken
 EmBm
His golden hope is gone
 EmBm
She makes a lost soul's simple longing
 A11
Somehow not so wrong

Nightingale        

 Gmaj7Dmaj7
He was strong, but he was taken
 Gmaj7Dmaj7
By the thought of his success
 Gmaj7Dmaj7
Those spotlight shadows, how they lured him
 Gmaj7Dmaj7
And took him like all the rest

 A/B
But that old dream don't look good now
 G/A
No, it don't seem quite the same
 G6F#m
He needs to hear a tender word
 EmA11
Won't you sing him home again

 Dmaj7
Nightingale
 Gmaj7
She sails away upon a sea of song
 Dmaj7
Nightingale
 Gmaj7
She serenades his lonely, lonely life along
 EmBm
When his strength is slowly goin'
 EmBm
His pride is all but gone
 EmBm
She makes a foolish dreamer listen
 A11
To one last song
