[Fm]Slow death to the [Cm]nightingale
[G7]His voice would always fail
[Db]In tenement towers
And on the [C7]rails [C7]
[Ab]And all of these [Bbdim7]praising words
[Db]They all seem so [Ddim7]absurd, so [C7]absurd [C7]
[Fm]Your poverty you [Cm]declare
[G7]The paint blisters on your stairs
[Db]The dampness in your bones is always [C7]there
[Ab]And all of these [Bbdim7]praising words
[Db]Well, they all seem [Ddim7]so absurd, so [C7]absurd[C7]
[Fm]Ever thought that [Cm]you would be
[Ddim7]This washed up and lonely
[Db]This washed up and [C7]lonely
[Fm]This lonely
[G7]His voice would always fail
[Db]In tenement towers
And on the [C7]rails [C7]
[Ab]And all of these [Bbdim7]praising words
[Db]They all seem so [Ddim7]absurd, so [C7]absurd [C7]
[Fm]Your poverty you [Cm]declare
[G7]The paint blisters on your stairs
[Db]The dampness in your bones is always [C7]there
[Ab]And all of these [Bbdim7]praising words
[Db]Well, they all seem [Ddim7]so absurd, so [C7]absurd[C7]
[Fm]Ever thought that [Cm]you would be
[Ddim7]This washed up and lonely
[Db]This washed up and [C7]lonely
[Fm]This lonely
