[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
'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

[Interlude]
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 he-  -ar you
