The Sparrow

[Intro ]
D 


[Refrão]
 
    D      A           D 
I'm only a poor little sparrow 
   D         A             D 
No colourful feathers have I 
  G                        A 
I can't even sing when I'm nesting in spring 
        E                       A 
And the turnips don't grow very high 
 


[Verso 1]
 
   D          A           D 
No sparrows I know are so cheeky 
   D              A        D 
In fact they're incredibly brave 
        G                       A 
But for me that's not true, all I ever do 
   E                   A 
Is worry myself to the grave

      D      A           D 
She's only a poor little sparrow 
   D         A            D 
No colourful feathers has she 
    G                          A 
She can't even sing when she's nesting in spring 
        E                       A 
And the turnips don't grow very high 
 


[Verso 2]
 
    D      A         D 
Whenever I try to be helpful 
  D          A                D 
I seem to do something that's wrong 
     G                    A 
Only one day last week, I trapped someone's beak 
    E                         A 
And now it's as broad as it's long 
 


[Verso 3]
 
  D          A                D 
I once had a boyfriend called Bertie 
   D          A          D 
He said I was pretty and sweet 
   G                       A 
He built me a nest gave me all of his best 
     E                           A 
Then tripped up and fell off the tree

No colourful feathers has she

And the turnips don't grow very high 

      D      A           D 
She's only a poor little sparrow 
   D         A            D 
No colourful feathers has she 
    G                          A 
She can't even sing when she's nesting in spring 
      A                  D 
She's only a poor little bird
