Ryan Adams – Nightbirds
I just heard this song and WOW, another great Ryan Adams tune. This one is fairly easy to
play. I use open power chords to play this song but you can use basic chords. Please leave
a good rating, thanks!
Tune down to half step.

Intro: A, C, F, G, A, C, F
A C F G
Out under the stars dodging them like cars, baby
A C F
Cause when you gotta move, you gotta move
(G) A C F G
Whatever that it was you were thinking of baby
A C F
You certainly not thinking of that now
D G D G
And night birds singing An empty tune
D G D A
In an empty house, in an empty room
D G D G
An empty moment Oh the nightbirds singing
A C (F)
We were supposed to rise above But we sink
A C F G A C F
Into the ocean
A C F G
I feel like a body stuffed into a trunk
A C F
From the million years of lying and getting drunk
(G) A C F G
The people here inside me they are loud and in the night
A C F
They scream and smash the windows when they fight
D G D G
And nightbirds singing An empty tune
D G D A
In an empty house, in an empty room
D G D G
And empty feelings when it comes too soon
A C F
We were supposed to rise above
A C
We were supposed to rise above
F
But we sink
A C F G
Into the ocean (x4)
