Em G
Nightingale sing
Am C
Though it's blacker than the bog
Am D
Nightingale sing to me
G Am
I need to hear your song
[Verse 2]
Em G
Nightingale come
Am C
And perch upon my tree
Am D
A terrifying light's
G Am
Been flashing over me
[Chorus]
D G
I would not bear to rest
Am C
I would not dare to dream
Am D
Till the nightingale came
G Am
And sang a song for me
[Verse 3]
Em G
She'll sing above the blasts
Am C
And the clothing singed by fire
Am D
She'll sing above the black smoke
G Am
Rising from the funeral pyre
[Verse 4]
Em G
Her heart a field in bloom
Am C
Her heart a sacred snow
Am D
Her heart a mirror blinding
G Am
All the greedy as they go
[Chorus]
D G
I would not bear to rest
Am C
I would not dare to dream
Am D
Till the nightingale came
G Am
And sang a song for me
[Verse 5]
Em G
I cannot help but want
Am C
To sodder all the parts
Am D
Sodder back together
G Am
All the shattered hearts
[Verse 6]
Em G
Nightingale come
Am C
And perch upon my tree
Am D
The terrifying night's
G Am
Been crashing over me
[Chorus]
D G
I would not bear to rest
Am C
I would not dare to dream
Am D
Till the nightingale came
G Am
And sang a song for me
[Chorus]
D G
I would not bear to rest
Am C
I would not dare to dream
Am D
Till the nightingale came
G Am
And sang a song for me
