Some of the specific chord shapes 
are probably inaccurate, but I think
 the basic chords
are correct.
In the studio recording of the song 
the 5th, 4th and 3rd strings are 
generally loudest -
the high e string is barely audible.

[Intro]

Amaj7/E          B6       C#m7  

     F#m9


[Verse]

Amaj7/E    B6        C#m7       
Glistening nighttime dew, and 
     F#m9
she is walking with me.
Amaj7/E  B6       C#m7   F#m9
From the house of red, I hear a 
child crying.
Amaj7/E B6      C#m7        
Foxes   heading home, their prey 
F#m9
hangs from their jaws.
Amaj7/E B6     C#m7       F#m9
And the forest knows, but it won’t 
share the secret.


[Chorus]

Amaj7/E  B6         C#m7
When the king takes sides,
F#m9                 Amaj7/E  B6
Leaving moral minds; soldiers 
         C#m7
take their share.
Continues after the ad
F#m9                          
Nighthawks seem to sense that 
Amaj7/E B6     C#m7
now     is the time.
F#m9                       Amaj7/E
Deep inside them burns the raging 
 B6      C#m7
 fire of life.
F#m9
He'll take back what he owns.

Amaj7/E          B6       C#m7  

     F#m9


[Verse]

Amaj7/E  B6       C#m7     F#m9
Death cannot take hold, if I can 
keep momentum.
Amaj7/E B6     C#m7        F#m9
Fortres-ses of stone, turn into 
crystal tears
Amaj7/E    B6       C#m7        
Soothed by southern winds; I’ve 
F#m9
found my strength now.
Amaj7/E B6   C#m7       F#m9
And no- body knows, and we must keep
 their secret.


[Chorus]

Amaj7/E  B6         C#m7
When the king takes sides,
F#m9                 Amaj7/E  B6
Leaving moral minds; soldiers 
         C#m7
take their share.
F#m9                          
Nighthawks seem to sense that 
Amaj7/E B6     C#m7
now     is the time.
F#m9                       Amaj7/E
Deep inside them burns the raging 
 B6      C#m7
 fire of life.
F#m9
He'll take back what he owns.
