[Verse 1] 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) [Verse 2]
   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
[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
[Verse 2] 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
[Outro]
       Am
Little sparrow, little sparrow

       Dm     Em     Am
Oh the sorrow never ends
