Sparrow chords by Hal Ketchum
Verse 1
G
Where we dug in down the road
C
G
from Harpers Ferry
And we fired our guns
C
G
as far as they would carry
C
The sunset came and we
G
shot only shadows
C
D
G
Where this war will go now only God knows
C
G
If I were a sparrow I would fly
Em
C
D
And if I were alone now I would cry
C
The tears won't bring my brothers
G
C
back home to their mothers
G
Won't bring comfort
C
D
G
to a soul too young to die
Where we barely crawled
C
our way down
G
through the corn rows
Sherman's boys were
C
G
waitin' in the willows
C
G
They cut us down till we were only ten
C
D
G
May I never feel that kind of cold again
C
And if I were a sparrow, I would fly
G
Em
C
D
And if I were alone now, I would cry
C
But tears won't bring my brothers
G
C
back home to their mothers
G
Don't bring comfort
C
D
G
C
G
C
D
G
to a soul too young to die
Well, the fiddles played,
C
G
she wore a yellow ribbon
C
On the day I made my way
G
back to the living
C
It's hard to be a hero when
G
C
D
G
you've seen
C
G
And if I were a sparrow, I would fly
Em
C
D
And if I were alone, now I would cry
C
Tears won't bring my brothers
G
C
back home to their mothers
G
Won't bring comfort
C
D
G
to a soul too young to die
C
Tears won't bring my brothers
G
C
back home to their mothers
G
Won't bring comfort
Em
D
G
to a soul too young to die
We dug in down the road
C
D
G
from Harkness Ferry
C
Barely crawled our way down
G
through the cornrows
Fiddles played,
C
G
C
G
she wore a yellow ribbon you
