Sparrow Chords

(ver. 1)
Mary Hopkin
[Verse 1]

            Am           C/G                F                      G
Come Sunday morning everyone will leave the house, dressed for the Sunday service
     C           Am                E        Am    E           C  
And through the streets I used to know they go to meet their friends
             A               Dm
And so they take the family seat
        A              Dm              G
Father prays so earnestly, forgetting all around him
C        E                 Am                 D
When Eleanor sings in the choir, it's like a lark in summer


[Chorus]

G           D                   G
The sparrow sings, the sparrow flies
            D
With mighty wings he reaches
C          G    D     C
As high as any other bird
           G     D       G
He shall inherit all the Earth

G           D                   G
The sparrow sings, the sparrow flies
            D
With mighty wings he reaches
C          G    D     C
As high as any other bird
           G     D       G
He shall inherit all the Earth


[Verse 2]

            Am           C/G              F               G
A wealth of silence will descend upon the town, in colors of the evening
C               Am          E          Am      E         C  
The thought has troubled me before, I know how long I'll need 
            A
A sound to fill each moment
Dm        A             Dm                  G
I had to find it out my way, they couldn't stop me leaving
C               E                   Am               D
As though they knew they could not stay, they let me go believing . . . 


[Chorus]

G           D                   G
The sparrow sings, the sparrow flies
            D
With mighty wings he reaches
C          G    D     C
As high as any other bird
           G     D       G
He shall inherit all the Earth
G           D                   G
The sparrow sings, the sparrow flies
            D
With mighty wings he reaches
C          G    D     C
As high as any other bird
           G     D       G
He shall inherit all the Earth


[Outro]

            Am             C/G            F           G
Through the blue and hazy drifts of after two, a saxophone is moaning
C           Am           E           Am    C/G    F   E   Am
I rise and step into the cold night air
