Sparrow

Intro:  G - G5 - G - C  (2x)

G 
It wasn peace I wanted 
                              C 
So it wasn peace I found, 
G 
I wouldn stand for reason 
                                C 
And it never would sit down. 
        D                             C 
The bird upon my shoulder 
                                             G             
Has not one kind word to say 
D                                    C 
My eye is on the sparrow, 
                                       G 
But she looks the other way 
 
D                                 C 
Carry on, and me away, 
 D                                         C 
Hey, look alive the end of days 
              D/E    
And our very blood 
C#                    C     B 
Taste like honey now 
               Bb 
And our very blood 
A                   G 
Taste like honey 

G - G5 - G - C x2 
 
G 
There upon the mountain 
                                  C 
Is the shadow of a hand 
G  
Tugging at the stubborn mule 
                                  G 
Now standing like a man 
D                                              C 
And twitching like the phantom limb 
                                   G 
Of this whole countryside 
D                                    C 
Disappearing at the knee 
                                    G 
And breaking up our stride 
 
D                                 C 
Carry on, and me away, 
 D                                         C 
Hey, look alive the end of days 
              D/E    
And our very blood 
C#                    C     B 
Taste like honey now 
               Bb 
And our very blood 
A                   G 
Taste like honey 

G - G5 - G - C x2 
 
D/E - C# - C - B - Bb - A 

G - G5 - G - C x2 

G 
I want time and bread and wine, 
                           C 
Sugar and a spoon, 
G 
I want for the hungry years 
                                       C 
To be swallowed by this room. 
D                              C 
I wait out your memory 
                               G 
Now singing in the trees 
D                                  C 
I wait for one grave angel 
                                        G 
And I know she waits for me 

 
D                                 C 
Carry on, and me away, 
 D                                         C 
Hey, look alive the end of days 
              D/E    
And our very blood 
C#                    C     B 
Taste like honey now 
               Bb 
And our very blood 
A                   G 
Taste like honey 

G - G5 - G - C x2
