The Seekers - Sparrow Song Chords & Tabs

Capo 3

Chorus:
-------
Em
Fly little sparrow
Am             Em
High above the clouds,

Looking for a place to
         Am    B7   Em
Lay your weary body down.


Em
Fly on little sparrow
Am               Em
Northward to the sun,

Wonder if you'll ever
D        A      Em
Find yourself a home.


Verse:
------
G
Tell me, Little sparrow
                     C
Tell me, What do you see?
                 G
I see a concrete canyon
   B             Em
Without a single tree,
            C              G
And it goes winding on for ever
                        C
Where once proud rivers ran,
                     G
Oh I hope that I can find
                C  Em C B7 Em
One truly happy man.


Chorus:
-------
Em
Fly little sparrow
Am             Em
High above the clouds,

Verse:
------
G
I seek a land of far horizons
                           C
Of gentle winds and summer rain,
                           G
Where the children are not hungry
            B             Em
And they've put an end to pain,
           C              G
And I will sing a song of freedom
                        C
In the arms of a golden tree,
                         G
Is there such a place on earth
                     C  Em C B7 Em
For a tiny bird like me?


Chorus:
-------
Em
Fly little sparrow
Am             Em
High above the clouds,

Looking for a place to
         Am    B7   Em
Lay your weary body down.


Coda:
-----
Em
Yes and fly on little sparrow
Am               Em
Northward to the sun,

Wonder if you'll ever
D        A      Em
Find yourself a home.
