[Verse]
Eb Bb Eb Cm
A flower bows to autumn chill
Eb Bb Eb Cm
October river frozen still
Eb
Give way
Cm
Give way
Eb Bb Eb Cm
But the sparrow with his broken wing
Eb Bb Eb Cm
Burrows down to wait for spring
Eb
Give way
Cm
Give way
[Chorus]
Cm Eb Cm Eb
Sparrow, sparrow too afraid to fly
Cm Eb Bbm Db
Sparrow, sparrow too proud to try
N.C. Eb
And he's oh so far from home
[Verse]
Eb Bb Eb Cm
A spring and summer song too brief
Eb Bb Eb Cm
The steady turn of a fallen leaf.
Eb
Give way
Cm
Give way
Eb Bb Eb Cm
And just before the winter storm
Eb Bb Eb Cm
Off to somewhere safe and warm.
Eb
Give way
Cm
Give way
[Chorus]

Sparrow, sparrow too afraid to fly

Sparrow, sparrow too proud to try
N.C. Eb
And he's oh so far from home
