A E D A
Feathers and furs nightbirds
D A E
Only come out after dark
A E D A
Hear 'em all singin' nightbirds
D A E
Crying like no meadowlark
[Verse 2]
A E D A
Velvet and pearls mausoleum girls
D A E
Leathery jacketed boys
A E D A
Out on a limb at the end of the bar
D A E
Shunned from the island of joy
[Chorus]
G
Waiting for the silver moon to come
A
And set ya free
G A
Waiting for the silver door to swing wide
A
Like a jailbird's dream, dream
[Verse 3]
A E D A
Powder and gloves night doves
D A E
Only come out after hours
A E D A
Thick with perfume by the light of the tomb
D A E
Fresh as a funeral flower
[Chorus]
G A
Waiting for the silver moon to come and set ya free
G A
Waiting for the silver door to swing wide
A
Like a jailbird's dream
[Outro]
A E D A
Feathers and furs nightbirds
D A E
Only come out after dark
A E D A
Hear 'em all singin' nightbirds
D A E
Crying like no meadowlark
