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
