Guitar chords with lyrics

Verse 1:
N.C.
I built my house beside the wood
N.C.
So I could hear you singing
N.C.
And it was sweet and it was good
N.C.
And love was all beginning

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