Judy Collins – Nightingale I (Guitar)

G             C         G     C
Jacob’s heart bent with fear

       G             C          D    Am
Like a bow with death for its arrow

   D                G       C     G       Am
In vain he searched for the final truth

           G            D       G
To set his soul free of doubt

             C        G       C
Over the mountains he walked

         G          C                D     Am  D
With his head bent, searching for reasons

               G      C       G       C
Then he called out to god for help 

                   G        D       Em
And climbed to the top of a hill

                                          A        Em
Wind swept the sunlight through the wheat fields

                               A
In the orchard the nightingale sang

          C                             F
While the plums that she broke with her brown beak

  C                       D       G
Tomorrow would turn in to songs

                 C           G     C
Then she flew up through the rain

         G          C                D      Am  D
With the sun silver bright on her feathers

          G        C          G       C
Jacob put back his frowns and sighed

           G             Bm
And walked back down the hill

            C               Am
God doesn’t answer me and

             G  C  G  C  G  C  D
And he never will______
