Tonart: G major
Verse 1
G
Em
C
G
Em
C
I turned
G
D
on to the icy street
Em
C
as dusk came slowly down
G
D
And a strangeness settled in
Em
on this familiar part of town
C
G
I stopped before an unlit house
C
G
D
One lone sparrow perched its roof
Em
C
when no one else was there
Csus2
G
D
Reluctantly I headed through
Em
C
the old forbidding gate
G
D
The same as I had gone
Em
C
through many times of late
G
D
The sparrow never budged at all
Em
C
but now the world unfolded
G
D
The sparkling eyes turned to the skies
Em
C
Csus2
and braved the cruel cold
Em
C
Oh sparrow, on the house top,
Csus2
G
D
Em
why do you watch the sky?
G
D
your last friend's gone,
G
D
Em
and only minutes fly by
C
D
G
Em
Oh sparrow, sparrow, fly
C
G
Em
C
G
D
Why did the sparrow sit and wait
Em
C
with winter coming round
Csus2
G
D
With the berry bush on empty
Em
C
and snow piled on the ground
G
D
Why didn't it realize
Em
C
that all the buds had flown
G
D
Or did it wait for someone,
Em
C
Csus2
wait for them and them alone
G
D
The only sound that met me
Em
C
was my heat turned in the lock
G
D
Followed by my heartbeat
Em
C
like the ticking of a clock
G
D
Why did I keep coming back,
Em
C
what was I waiting for?
G
D
I reached my hands behind me
Em
C
Csus2
and closed the door
G
Em
C
Oh Sparrow, on the housetop,
Csus2
G
D
Em
why do you watch the sky?
D
your last friend's gone,
Em
and only minutes fly by
C
D
Oh sparrow, on the housetop,
G
D
Em
in the night time do you cry?
C
D
Or you sit and wait, till it's too late,
G
D
Em
till only the birds fly by?
C
D
Oh sparrow, sparrow,
Em
C
G
D
why?
Em
C
G
D
Em
Am
The silence lay unnatural,
Am
D
There weren't any wrinkles on the bed
Am
Oh, damp, unheated house
D
used to offer more unspoken proof
Em
That no one else was there
C
Csus2
C
except the sparrow on the roof
Em
C
Oh, sparrow on the housetop,
G
D
Em
in the nighttime do you cry?
Am
D
Well, you sit and wait till it's too late
G
D
Em
Till your only mirror is flying by
C
D
Oh, you stay strong all winter long
G
D
Em
Till spring is in the air
C
D
And fly away to a new dawning day
G
D
Em
Fly away on a wind and a prayer
C
D
G
O Sparrow, O Sparrow, were you there?
Em
C
