D C#m Bm          A             G  
         Some old hotel room in Memphis

Bm           A                G
   I see the city through the rain

Bm          A       G     D/F#
   I'm just chasing me my time

Em                      A
   And remembering some pain

Bm           A          G
   See there once was a boy

Bm            A               G
   And on the street he'd surely die

Bm        A         G           D/F#
   So the nightbird took him in

Em                              A
   And she taught him how to fly

A                    G
   See the nightbird softly fly

                  D
Why does she fly alone?

                E            C        G
Is the moonlight just a flame for her memory?

         D     C#m
Now she's gone

Bm          A             G  
   Two bit bars and honky tonks

Bm     A        G
   Any pleasure can be found

Bm          A       G        D/F#
   You can get just what you want

Em                   A
   If you lay your money down

Bm           A                G
   And loney sailors do their drinking

Bm            A             G
   My, my, my how the brave men do die

Bm         A         G           D/F#
   And the nightbird sells her pleasures

Em                      A
   Bringing tears to my eyes

A                    G
   See the nightbird softly fly

                  D
Why does she fly alone?

                E            C        G
Is the moonlight just a flame for her memory?

         D     C#m
Now she's gone

Bm          A             G  
   So I guess I'll go out walking

Bm       A                 G
   Lord, let the rain keep falling down

Bm          A       G         D/F#
   I guess I'll go chase some memories

Em                      A
   On the dark side of town

A                    G
   See the nightbird softly fly

                  D
Why does she fly alone?

                E            C        G
Is the moonlight just a flame for her memory?

         D     C#m
Now she's gone
