Chords

From the album Dear Heather [Verse 1] N.C. I built my house beside the wood N.C. So I could hear you singing N.C. And it was sweet and it was good N.C. And love was all beginning [Chorus] N.C. Fare thee well my nightingale N.C. 'Twas long ago I found you N.C. Now all your songs of beauty fail N.C. The forest closes 'round you [Interlude] B E B D#m C#m B [Verse 2]

     B               E
The sun goes down behind a veil

      B                 D#m  C#m
'Tis now that you would call me

    B                E
So rest in peace my nightingale

   B                   F#  B
Beneath your branch of holly

[Chorus]

 B                 E      B
Fare thee well my nightingale

       B          D#m  C#m

Now all your songs of beauty fail

The forest closes 'round you

I lived but to be near you

I can no longer he-  -ar you
