Chords with lyrics
[Verse]
E MajorE A augmentedA
Once by the white sea on the rocky coast of Wales
E MajorE BB
There was a sad sound in the song of the nightingales
E MajorE A augmentedA
Above the bright fields, yours was the wilder song
E MajorE BB
From a dark wood, a plaint so clear and strong
E MajorE A augmentedA E MajorE
The pale, unfettered breast against a thorn
A augmentedA BB
How you loved to make sweet music pour
[Chorus]
A augmentedA BB
Here's to all the hangers-on
E MajorE BB
Another round of ale
E MajorE A augmentedA G# minorG#m
You sang your lonely life away
A augmentedA BB E MajorE
Crazy nightingale
[Verse]
E MajorE A augmentedA
I've heard of one bird who sang to an ancient age
E MajorE BB
That was in china, he lived in a bamboo cage
E MajorE A augmentedA
His voice was silver but yours was smooth, warm stone
E MajorE BB
On the sidewalk singing "Molly Malone?
[Chorus]
A augmentedA BB
Here's to all the hangers-on
E MajorE BB
Another round of ale
E MajorE A augmentedA G# minorG#m
You sang your lonely life away
A augmentedA BB E MajorE
Crazy nightingale
[Verse]
E MajorE
It was always the madness or the drink
BB
You were driven to
E MajorE
I guess in the end those were the bars
BB
You were singing through
[Chorus]
A augmentedA BB
Here's to all the hangers-on
E MajorE BB
Another round of ale
E MajorE A augmentedA G# minorG#m
You sang your lonely life away
A augmentedA BB E MajorE
