C             Am                    C 
Yesterday I thought that I walked alone 
          Am              G 
And that love was just a memory 
        C     Am                     C 
But a nightingale followed me back home 
        F         G               C 
And my love was waiting there for me 
        C       Am                  C 
I had lost my faith as lovers often do 
           Am                      G 
When the storm clouds gather over head 
          C     Am                  C 
But the nightingale sang a note so true 
        F         G              C      
That I knew I'd lost my fear instead 
        C         Am                    C 
And to think that I said love was for fools 
          C          Am           F        G 
And that time would never heal these old wounds 
           C    Am                     C 
But the nightingale saved a prayer for me 
          F          G                 C 
In the twilight he played a faithful tune 
         C        Am                C 
I have heard the lark over in the vale 
           Am                       G 
And I've heard the lonesome whippo-will 
           C      Am                  C 
But the sweetest song is the nightin-gale's 
       F          G           C 
And I know I'll never get my fill 
         C        Am                    C 
And to think that I said love was for fools 
          C          Am           F        G 
And that time would never heal these old wounds 
           C    Am                     C 
But the nightingale saved a prayer for me 
          F          G                 C 
In the twilight he played a faithful tune 
          C    Am                      C 
But the nightingale saved a prayer for me
