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:
