Chords with lyrics
Little Sparrow by Dolly Parton
Capo 2
Acapella:
Little sparrow, little sparrow
Precious fragile little thing
Little sparrow, little sparrow
A minorAm
Flies so high and feels no pain
A minorAm
All ye maidens heed my warning
DmDm A minorAm
Never trust the hearts of men
A minorAm
They will crush you like a sparrow
DmDm E minorEm A minorAm
Leaving you to never mend
A minorAm
They will vow to always love you
DmDm A minorAm
Swear no love but yours will do
A minorAm
Then they'll leave you for another
DmDm E minorEm A minorAm
Break your little heart in two
Chorus:
A minorAm
Little sparrow, little sparrow
DmDm A minorAm
Precious fragile little thing
A minorAm
Little sparrow, little sparrow
DmDm E minorEm A minorAm
Flies so high and feels no pain
(fiddle/musical interlude)
A minorAm
If I were a little sparrow
DmDm A minorAm
O'er these mountains I would fly
A minorAm
I would find him, I would find him
DmDm E minorEm A minorAm
Look into his lying eyes
A minorAm
I would flutter all around him
DmDm A minorAm
On my little sparrow wings
A minorAm
I would ask him, I would ask him
DmDm E minorEm A minorAm
Why he let me love in vain
A minorAm
I am not a little sparrow
DmDm A minorAm
I am just the broken dream
A minorAm
Of a cold false-hearted lover
DmDm E minorEm A minorAm
And his evil cunning scheme
A minorAm
Little sparrow, little sparrow
DmDm A minorAm
Precious fragile little thing
A minorAm
Little sparrow, little sparrow
DmDm E minorEm A minorAm
Flies so high and feels no pain
Acapella:
All ye maidens fair and tender
Never trust the hearts of men
They will crush you like a sparrow (begin quietly playing single downstrokes where
noted, let ring out)
DmDm E minorEm A minorAm
Leaving you to never mend
A minorAm
Little sparrow, little sparrow
DmDm E minorEm A minorAm
Oh the sorrow never ends
