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