Intro
[D]
Chorus
[D] [A] [D]
I'm only a poor little sparrow
[D] [A] [D]
No colourful feathers have I
[G] [A]
I can't even sing when I'm nesting in spring
[E] [A]
And the turnips don't grow very high
Verse 1
[D] [A] [D]
No sparrows I know are so cheeky
[D] [A] [D]
In fact they're incredibly brave
[G] [A]
But for me that's not true, all I ever do
[E] [A]
Is worry myself to the grave
Chorus
[D] [A] [D]
She's only a poor little sparrow

She can't even sing when she's nesting in spring
[E] [A]
And the turnips don't grow very high
Verse 2
[D] [A] [D]
Whenever I try to be helpful
[D] [A] [D]
I seem to do something that's wrong
[G] [A]
Only one day last week, I trapped someone's beak
[E] [A]
And now it's as broad as it's long
Verse 3
[D] [A] [D]
I once had a boyfriend called Bertie
[D] [A] [D]
He said I was pretty and sweet
[G] [A]
He built me a nest gave me all of his best
[E] [A]
Then tripped up and fell off the tree

She's only a poor little bird
