I built my house beside the wood
So I could hear you singing
And it was sweet and it was good
And love was all beginning

Chorus:
Fare thee well my nightingale
'Twas long ago I found you
Now all your songs of beauty fail
The forest closes 'round you

B E B D#m C#m B

     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
'Twas long ago I found you
     B                 E
Now all your songs of beauty fail
     B            D#m C#m B
The forest closes 'round you

B E B D#m C#m

B E B D#m C#m B

Chorus:
 B                 E      B
Fare thee well my nightingale
   B              D#m  C#m
I lived but to be near you
      B               E
Tho' you are singing somewhere still
   B           D#m C#m B
I can no longer hear you

B E B F# B
