Dolly Parton – Little Sparrow chords

Little Sparrow by Dolly Parton

Capo 2

Acapella:

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

       AmAll ye maidens heed my warning
      Dm                  AmNever trust the hearts of men
          AmThey will crush you like a sparrow
        Dm      Em     AmLeaving you to never mend
          AmThey will vow to always love you
         Dm                  AmSwear no love but yours will do
             AmThen they'll leave you for another
           Dm     Em       AmBreak your little heart in two


Chorus:
       AmLittle sparrow, little sparrow
         Dm              AmPrecious fragile little thing
       AmLittle sparrow, little sparrow
         Dm       Em        AmFlies so high and feels no pain

(fiddle/musical interlude)

   AmIf I were a little sparrow
           Dm                AmO'er these mountains I would fly
         AmI would find him, I would find him
       Dm     Em     AmLook into his lying eyes
         AmI would flutter all around him
       Dm            AmOn my little sparrow wings
        AmI would ask him, I would ask him
        Dm    Em       AmWhy he let me love in vain

     AmI am not a little sparrow
      Dm              AmI am just the broken dream
      AmOf a cold false-hearted lover
        Dm    Em       AmAnd his evil cunning scheme

       AmLittle sparrow, little sparrow
         Dm              AmPrecious fragile little thing
       AmLittle sparrow, little sparrow
         Dm       Em        AmFlies 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     AmLeaving you to never mend
       AmLittle sparrow, little sparrow
       Dm     Em     AmOh the sorrow never ends
