Solitary Singer

INTRO: Am  Dm  Am  E  Am  Dm  Am  Em  Am

           Dm          Am      Dm
Dark comes down like a bird in flight
F         Dm          F       Am
Most good people have gone to rest
            Dm        Am      Dm
But us poor fools who wake at night
F          Dm         F        E7     C
When we're lonely, we sing our best


           G     C          G
Listen and hark, out in the dark
  F           Dm   F    E7      C
A mockingbird in a tall tree
          G           Am         G     F
Busts his throat on a high sweet note
       Dm         F         E7
Nobody knows he's there but me


CHORUS:
   Am        Dm        Am       E
He sings his best when nobody's listening
F        Dm
Nobody's listening

But me_________


           Dm          Am      Dm    F
Dark comes down like a heron's wing
     Dm        F      Am
Honeysuckle is in the air
            Dm        Am      Dm
That's when I like to sit and sing
F      Dm           F       E7     C
Nobody listens, but I don't care


         G           C       G
Out in a swamp, by a firefly ramp
   F        Dm          F      E7
An old frog fiddles his double bass
C        G       Am      G     F
Over the hill, a whippoorwill
          Dm          F      E7
Sings her note from a secret race


CHORUS:
    Am        Dm        Am       E
She sings her best when nobody's listening
F        Dm
Nobody's listening
    Am   Dm  Am
But me_________

CHORUS:
   Am       Dm        Am       E
We sing our best when nobody's listening

Nobody's listening
    Am   Dm  Am   F
But me_________
