Dolly Parton - Little Sparrow

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
