Nightingale  Leonard Cohen

I built my house beside the wood
So I could hear you singing
And it was sweet and it was good
And love was all beginning
Fare thee well my nightingale
'Twas long ago I found you
Now all your songs of beauty fail
The forest closes 'round you
[B] [E] [B/F#] [F#7] [B] 
The s[B]un goes down b[E]ehind a veil
'Tis n[B]ow that you would call m[F#]e
So r[B]est in peace my n[E]ightingale
Ben[B]eath your branch of h[F#]olly[B]
F[B]are thee well my n[E]ighting[B]ale
'Twas l[B]ong ago I found y[F#]ou
Now [B]all your songs of b[E]eauty fail
The f[B]orest closes 'ro[F#]und yo[B]u
[B] [E] [B] [B] [F#]  
[B]Fare thee[E] well my [B]nightinga[B]le[F#] [B]
I lived but to be near you
Tho' you are singing somewhere still
I can no longer hear you
[B] [E] [B] [B] [F#] [B]
