Little Sparrow by Dolly Parton

Capo 2

Acapella:

Little sparrow, little sparrow
Precious fragile little thing
Little sparrow, little sparrow
                                Am
Flies so high and feels no pain

       Am
All ye maidens heed my warning
      Dm                  Am
Never trust the hearts of men
          Am
They will crush you like a sparrow
        Dm      Em     Am
Leaving you to never mend
          Am
They will vow to always love you
         Dm                  Am
Swear no love but yours will do
             Am
Then they'll leave you for another
           Dm     Em       Am
Break your little heart in two

Chorus:
       Am
Little sparrow, little sparrow
         Dm              Am
Precious fragile little thing
       Am
Little sparrow, little sparrow
         Dm       Em        Am
Flies so high and feels no pain

(fiddle/musical interlude)
   Am
If I were a little sparrow
           Dm                Am
O'er these mountains I would fly
         Am
I would find him, I would find him
       Dm     Em     Am
Look into his lying eyes
         Am
I would flutter all around him
       Dm            Am
On my little sparrow wings
        Am
I would ask him, I would ask him
        Dm    Em       Am
Why he let me love in vain

     Am
I am not a little sparrow
      Dm              Am
I am just the broken dream
      Am
Of a cold false-hearted lover
        Dm    Em       Am
And his evil cunning scheme

       Am
Little sparrow, little sparrow
         Dm              Am
Precious fragile little thing
       Am
Little sparrow, little sparrow
         Dm       Em        Am
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)
        Dm    Em     Am
Leaving you to never mend
       Am
Little sparrow, little sparrow
       Dm     Em     Am
Oh the sorrow never ends
