Chords with lyrics
D MajorD C# minorC#m B minorBm A augmentedA G+G
Some old hotel room in Memphis
B minorBm A augmentedA G+G
I see the city through the rain
B minorBm A augmentedA G+G D/F#D/F#
I'm just chasing me my time
E minorEm A augmentedA
And remembering some pain
B minorBm A augmentedA G+G
See there once was a boy
B minorBm A augmentedA G+G
And on the street he'd surely die
B minorBm A augmentedA G+G D/F#D/F#
So the nightbird took him in
E minorEm A augmentedA
And she taught him how to fly
A augmentedA G+G
See the nightbird softly fly
D MajorD
Why does she fly alone?
E MajorE C majorC G+G
Is the moonlight just a flame for her memory?
D MajorD C# minorC#m
Now she's gone
D MajorD C# minorC#m B minorBm A augmentedA G+G
Two bit bars and honky tonks
B minorBm A augmentedA G+G
Any pleasure can be found
B minorBm A augmentedA G+G D/F#D/F#
You can get just what you want
E minorEm A augmentedA
If you lay your money down
B minorBm A augmentedA G+G
And loney sailors do their drinking
B minorBm A augmentedA G+G
My, my, my how the brave men do die
B minorBm A augmentedA G+G D/F#D/F#
And the nightbird sells her pleasures
E minorEm A augmentedA
Bringing tears to my eyes
A augmentedA G+G
See the nightbird softly fly
D MajorD
Why does she fly alone?
E MajorE C majorC G+G
Is the moonlight just a flame for her memory?
D MajorD C# minorC#m
Now she's gone
D MajorD C# minorC#m B minorBm A augmentedA G+G
So I guess I'll go out walking
B minorBm A augmentedA G+G
Lord, let the rain keep falling down
B minorBm A augmentedA G+G D/F#D/F#
I guess I'll go chase some memories
E minorEm A augmentedA
On the dark side of town
A augmentedA G+G
See the nightbird softly fly
D MajorD
Why does she fly alone?
E MajorE C majorC G+G
Is the moonlight just a flame for her memory?
D MajorD C# minorC#m
