Among The Oak And Ash - Sing Sparrow Sing (The Ballad of Walter Kohn)
CAPO: 2nd Fret
[Intro]
Am C Am Em Am C Am G Am G Am
[Verse 1]
C Am
The trees are in silhouette once more
Em
Their branches like a sable stand
Am C Am
Stretched up into the sky, my love
Em Am
To hold it to this land
[Chorus]
G Am
Sing, sparrow, sing
G Am
Sing me a pretty song
G Am
Sing, sparrow, sing
Em Am C
One more before I’m gone, long gone
G Am
One more before I’m gone
[Verse 2]
C Am
And when they find you here someday
Em
Face down on that floor
Am C Am
An ear to a ghost man’s rail-yard weight
Em Am
For that train to take one more
[Chorus]
G Am
Sing, sparrow, sing
G Am
Sing me a pretty song
G Am
Sing, sparrow, sing
Em Am C
One more before I’m gone, long gone
G Am
One more before I’m gone
[Instrumental]
Am C Am Em Am C Am G Am G Am
[Verse 3]
C Am
And if you should change your mind tonight
Em
Turn, turn around as you please
Am C Am
We’ll meet again in some sweet spring
Em Am
Beneath the old black trees
[Chorus]
G Am
Sing, sparrow, sing
G Am
Sing me a pretty song
G Am
Sing, sparrow, sing
Em Am C
One more before I’m gone, long gone
G Am
One more before I’m gone
[Outro]
C G Am F
Clementine, Clementine, Clementine, oh Clementine
C G Am F
Clementine, Clementine, Clementine, oh Clementine
Am G Am
And get thee behind me, Satan
