Key: D

Introduction:

D  C#m  Bm                         A                                 G  
                        Some old hotel room in Memphis
Bm                            A                                         G  
        I see the city through the rain
Bm                         A                 G            D/F#  
        I'm just chasing me my time
Em                                                         A  
        And remembering some pain
Bm                            A                         G  
        See there once was a boy
Bm                              A                                      G  
        And on the street he'd surely die
Bm                    A                      G                            D/F#  
        So the nightbird took him in
Em                                                                              A  
        And she taught him how to fly
A                                                    G  
        See the nightbird softly fly
                                                D  
Why does she fly alone?
                                          E                              C                    G  
Is the moonlight just a flame for her memory?
                        D            C#m  
Now she's gone
D  C#m  Bm                         A                                 G  
                        Two bit bars and honky tonks
Bm            A                                      G  
        Any pleasure can be found
Bm                         A                 G                    D/F#  
        You can get just what you want
Em                                                         A  
        If you lay your money down
Bm                            A                                         G  
        And loney sailors do their drinking
Bm                              A                                 G  
        My, my, my how the brave men do die
Bm                      A                      G                            D/F#  
        And the nightbird sells her pleasures
Em                                                         A  
        Bringing tears to my eyes
A                                                    G  
        See the nightbird softly fly
                                                D  
Why does she fly alone?
                                          E                              C                    G  
Is the moonlight just a flame for her memory?
                        D            C#m  
Now she's gone
D  C#m  Bm                         A                                 G  
                        So I guess I'll go out walking
Bm                 A                                            G  
        Lord, let the rain keep falling down
Bm                         A                 G                      D/F#  
        I guess I'll go chase some memories
Em                                                         A  
        On the dark side of town
A                                                    G  
        See the nightbird softly fly
                                                D  
Why does she fly alone?
                                          E                              C                    G  
Is the moonlight just a flame for her memory?
                        D            C#m  
Now she's gone
