Eva Cassidy - Nightbird

^{D C#m Bm} Some old ^Ahotel room in ^GMemphis ^Bm I see the ^Acity through the ^Grain ^Bm I'm just ^Achasing ^Gme my ^D/F#time ^Em And remembering some ^Apain

^Bm See there ^Aonce was a ^Gboy ^Bm And on the ^Astreet he'd sure^Gly die ^Bm So the ^Anightbird ^Gtook him in ^{D/F# Em} And she taught him how to fly^A

^A See the nightbird ^Gsoftly fly Why does she fly a^Dlone? Is the moonlight^E just a flame^C for her ^Gmemory? Now she's^D gone ^C#m

^Bm Two bit b^Aars and honky ^Gtonks ^Bm Any ^Apleasure ^Gcan be found ^Bm You can g^Aet just ^Gwhat you ^D/F#want ^Em If you lay your mo^Aney down

^Bm And loney ^Asailors do their ^Gdrinking ^Bm My, my, my ^Ahow the brave ^Gmen do die ^Bm And the ^Anightbird ^Gsells her pl^D/F#easures ^Em Bringing tears to my ^Aeyes

^A See the nightbird ^Gsoftly fly Why does she fly a^Dlone? Is the moonlight^E just a flame^C for her ^Gmemory? Now she's^D gone ^C#m

^Bm So I gues^As I'll go out ^Gwalking ^Bm Lord, ^Alet the rain keep ^Gfalling down ^Bm I guess I^A'll go c^Ghase some ^D/F#memories ^Em On the dark side of t^Aown

^A See the nightbird ^Gsoftly fly Why does she fly a^Dlone? Is the moonlight^E just a flame^C for her ^Gmemory? Now she's^D gone ^C#m
