Bm
Little sparrow, little sparrow
Em7                  Bm
Precious fragile little thing
Bm
Little sparrow, little sparrow
         Em7  F#            Bm
Flies so high and feels no pain
Bm
All ye maidens hede my warning
      Em7              Bm
Never trust the hearts of men
         Em7                Bm
They will crush you like a sparrow
      Em7              Bm
Leaving you   to never mend
They will vow to always love you
      Em7                Bm
Swear no love but yours will do
            Em7          Bm
Then they'll leave you for another
       Em7 F#                Bm
Break your little heart in two

(chorus)
Bm
Little sparrow, little sparrow
Em7                  Bm
Precious fragile little thing
Bm
Little sparrow, little sparrow
         Em   F#         Em7
Flies so high and feels no pain

Bm
If I were a little sparrow
      Em7              Bm
O'er these mountains I would fly
         Em7                Bm
I would find him , I would find him
      Em7 F#             Bm
Look into his lying eyes

I would flutter all around him
      Em7            Bm
On my little sparrow wings
        Em7                  Bm
I would ask him , I would ask him
       Em7  F#         Bm
Why he let   me love in vain

      Bm
I am not a little sparrow
      Em7             Bm
I am just the broken dream
     Em7                 Bm
Of a cold false-hearted lover
    Em7 F#             Bm
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
                     Bm
Leaving you to never mend
          Bm
Little sparrow, little sparrow
       Em7 F#               Bm
Oh the sorrow never ends
