[Verse 1]
G            C            G
[tab] G            C                   D
take warning how, you court young men.

D              Am7                  G
They're like a stars of a summer's morning

 G           Am7                     D
they first appear, and then they're gone.
[Verse 2]
G               C                G
They'll tell to you, some loving story

 G                    C                        D
they'll make you think, that they love you true.

D              Am7                  G
Straight away they'll go, and court another

G           Am7                     D
and that's the love they had for you.
[Verse 3]
G          C               G
If I had known before I courted

 G         C                   D
I would have never courted none.

D        Am7                   G
I'd lock my heart in a box of golden

G              Am7             D
and fasten it up with a silver pin.
[Verse 4]
G          C               G
Do you recall our days of courting?

G          C               D
When your head lay on my breast

D        Am7                   G
You'd make me believe by the falling of your arms
That the sun rose in the west. [Verse 5]
G        C                 G
I wish I was, a little sparrow

 G         C                   D
and I had wings with which to fly

D        Am7                   G
I'd fly away, to my false true lover

G              Am7             D
and when he'd speak, I would deny.
[Verse 6]
G          C               G
But I am not a little sparrow

G          C            D
Neither have I wings to fly

D        Am7                   G
So here I'll sit in grief and sorrow

G              Am7             D
And watch my troubles pass me by
