Verse 1

                           Am
King David was a sorrowful man
Dm                             Am
No cause for his sorrow had he
                      Dm                 F
And he called for the music of a hundred harps
   Dm                  Am  Dm  Am  Dm
To ease his melancholy

Verse 2

                               Am
They played till they all fell silent
Dm                             Am
Played and play sweet did they
                    Dm                        F
But the sorrow that haunted the heart of King David
     Dm                   Am  Dm  Am  Dm
They could not charm away

Verse 3

                   Am
He rose and in his garden
Dm                       Am
Walked by the moon alone
              Dm                  F
A nightingale hidden in a cypress tree
Dm                 Am  Dm  Am  Dm
Jargoned on and on

Verse 4

                      Am
King David lifted his sad eyes
Dm                         Am
Into the dark-boughed tree
               Dm               F
"Tell me, thou little bird that singest
    Dm                       Am  Dm  Am  Dm
Who taught my grief to thee?"

Verse 5

                        Am
But the bird in no-wise heeded
        Dm                           Am
And the king in the cool of the moon
                 Dm                     F
Hearkened to the nightingale's sorrowfulness
     Dm                   Am  Dm  Am  Dm
Till all his own was gone
