Verse 1:
C                                            F
A song for the back of a blue Cadillac and leaving of a whipporwhill
        G                                                 F                          C
For the tears that cried on the day that he died, moving fast while the world stood still
C                                                       F
The talk of day about the things they could say and the songs were real
          G                                                    F         C
About the sound in the night when you’re not feeling he was a sad whipporwhill

And the lonesome whistle blow, and love just can’t be found. The Night bird sings its epitaph
     F                                  Em                        Am                    Am
that laid him in the ground. He sang a song of wealth and fame. A place he knew so well, and

not a soul to tell.

C                                                          F
The talk of day of about the things they could say and the songs were real
          G                                                    F            C
About the sound in the night when you’re not feeling he was a sad whipporwhill
 
C                                          F
A song for the back of a blue Cadillac and leaving of a whipporwhill
           G                                               F                          C
For the tears that cried on the day that he died, moving fast while the world stood still

And the lonesome whistle blow, and love just can’t be found. The Night bird sings so sweetly
         F                                  Em                               Am
as they placed him in the ground. He sang a song of wealth and fame. It was a place he knew
               C                            F               G
so well. The mountain was so lonesome and not a soul to tell.
