[Verse 2]
B E
The sun goes down behind a veil
B D#m C#m
'Tis now that you would call me
B E
So rest in peace my nightingale
B F# B
Beneath your branch of holly
[Chorus]
B E B
Fare thee well my nightingale
B D#m C#m
'Twas long ago I found you
B E
Now all your songs of beauty fail
B D#m C#m B
The forest closes 'round you
[Interlude]
B E B D#m C#m
B E B D#m C#m B
[Chorus]
B E B
Fare thee well my nightingale
B D#m C#m
I lived but to be near you
B E
Tho' you are singing somewhere still
B D#m C#m B
I can no longer he- -ar you
