Nightengale - Norah Jones
Key: G
Tabbed by: iccilicus Comments: This is a variation of the previous tab submitted by Pete:Townshend. When a capo is placed on the 2nd fret this song is much easier to play. Comments, critique etc. are welcome, as always.
Tuning: Standard Tuning, Capo 2nd Fret. (Tab is relative to capo - ie. 0 is actually 2nd fret).

CHORUS
Nightingale Sing us a song Of a love that once belonged Nightingale Tell me your tale Was your journey far too long?

Does it seem like I’m looking for an answer To a question I can’t ask I don’t know which way the feather falls Or if I should blow it to the left
CHORUS
VERSE 2
All the voices that are spinnin’ around me Trying to tell me what to say Can I fly right behind you And you can take me away
