Em G C Em

Em G
Dusk it mimics crisis in seated summer's craze
C Em
when 9 to 5 the people work and shun smog's heavy haze
Em G
Nature's varmints duck about in the walls, the pipes, the grates
C Em
But truth be told in the shadows fold at the closing of the day
D Em
Dusk is when all creatures come to bask in golden shade
C G
and every species acts as starved and feeds as the light fades
Am C
Piggish are the worms, piggish are the snakes
D
Fast as jets the sparrows fall to feed all in one place
G C D G
I sat there where the sparrows dropped that's where I was waiting
G C Em D
Calmly, as the sparrows dropped, just as the day was fading
🎸

G
There, among the birds athirst is where I'd calmly stay
Em C G
And feel as though the outsides matched my insides disarray
G
I knew no beauty but the dusk until that crucial eve
Em C G
When my beloved poised as I, stood staring back at me
D Em
If this town was small enough, they'd call us crazy cursed
C G
But we in random city went ignored, which might be worse
Am C
I wooed her there in nature's mess, my only and my first
D
And like a sparrow she fell for me, my eyes in hers, immersed
G C D G
She said, "Meet me where the sparrows drop, that's where I'll be waiting,
G C Em D
Tomorrow, as the sparrows drop, just as the day is fading."
G
In my youth I'd made a deal, some lessons for my time
Em C G
To train my trigger finger and plain faced march in line
G
Just as I had found my peace my country found its war
Em C G
I was sent then overseas to fight, who knows what for
D Em
And in the airport, in the crowd my love she wept for me
C G
She held her hand on my back small, as calm as she could be
Am C
She said: "I love you for your eyes, you know, because they see like mine
D
With every bomb, just see a sparrow, falling down in time."
G C D G
She said, "Meet me where the sparrows drop, that's where I'll be waiting,
G C Em D
Tomorrow, as the sparrows drop, just as the day is fading."
Em Em/G (Rapidly switch back and forth between the two)
Em G C Em
Em G C Em
Em G
I can tell you of the fury or the wild eyed hateful man
C Em
I can tell you that I sit here now because I cannot stand
Em G
Now I know nothing but the night, the sluggishness of time
C Em
In the trenches with the rest, who've lost their limbs and minds
D Em
And I can't see the detail now but memory I know
C G
With every sound explosion feel the warmth around me glow
Am C
I clutch my rifle tightly, rapid fire skyward bound
D
Hope to hit a sparrow feel it fall onto the ground
G C D G
She said, "Meet me where the sparrows drop, that's where I'll be waiting,
G C Em D
Every day till your return, just as the day is fading."
G C D G
I sit and watch the sparrows drop, calmly as I'm waiting
G C Em D
Everyday for my return just as the day is fading.
