INTRO: A minorAm DmDm A minorAm E MajorE A minorAm DmDm A minorAm E minorEm A minorAm

      DmDm     A minorAm   DmDm
Dark comes down like a bird in flight
FF     DmDm     FF    A minorAm
Most good people have gone to rest
      DmDm    A minorAm   DmDm
But us poor fools who wake at night
FF     DmDm     FF    E7E7   C majorC
When we're lonely, we sing our best

      G+G   C majorC     G+G
Listen and hark, out in the dark
 FF      DmDm  FF  E7E7   C majorC
A augmentedA mockingbird in a tall tree
     G+G      A minorAm     G+G   FF
Busts his throat on a high sweet note
    DmDm     FF     E7E7
Nobody knows he's there but me


CHORUS:
  A minorAm    DmDm    A minorAm    E MajorE
He sings his best when nobody's listening
FF    DmDm
Nobody's listening
  A minorAm  DmDm A minorAm
But me_________


      DmDm     A minorAm   DmDm  FF
Dark comes down like a heron's wing
   DmDm    FF   A minorAm
Honeysuckle is in the air
      DmDm    A minorAm   DmDm
That's when I like to sit and sing
FF   DmDm      FF    E7E7   C majorC
Nobody listens, but I don't care


     G+G      C majorC    G+G
Out in a swamp, by a firefly ramp
  FF    DmDm     FF   E7E7
An old frog fiddles his double bass
C majorC    G+G    A minorAm   G+G   FF
Over the hill, a whippoorwill
     DmDm     FF   E7E7
Sings her note from a secret race

CHORUS:
  A minorAm    DmDm    A minorAm    E MajorE
She sings her best when nobody's listening
FF    DmDm
Nobody's listening
  A minorAm  DmDm A minorAm
But me_________
