Nightbirds Acoustic Chords

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)
