B5
Little sparrow, little sparrow
E5                  B5
Precious fragile little thing
B5
Little sparrow, little sparrow
         E5  F#5            B5
Flies so high and feels no pain
B5
All ye maidens heed my warning
      E5              B5
Never trust the hearts of men
         E5                B5
They will crush you like a sparrow
      E5              B5
Leaving you   to never mend
They will vow to always love you
      E5                B5
Swear no love but yours will do
            E5          B5
Then they'll leave you for another
       E5 F#5                B5
Break your little heart in two

(chorus)
B5
Little sparrow, little sparrow
E5                  B5
Precious fragile little thing
B5
Little sparrow, little sparrow
         E5   F#5         E5
Flies so high and feels no pain

B5
If I were a little sparrow
      E5              B5
Over these mountains I would fly
         E5                B5
I would find you, I would find you
      E5 F#5             B5
Look into your lying eyes

I would flutter all around you
      E5            B5
On my little sparrow wings
        E5                  B5
I would ask you, I would ask you
       E5  F#5         B5
you let   me love in vain

      B5
I am not a little sparrow
      E5             B5
I am just the broken dream
     E5                 B5
Of a cold false-hearted lover
    E5 F#5             B5
And his evil cunning scheme

(chorus)

All ye maidens fair and tender
Never trust the hearts of men
They will crush you like a sparrow
                     B5
Leaving you to never mend
          B5
Little sparrow, little sparrow
       E5 F#5               B5
Oh the sorrow never ends
