[Verse 1]
C                C/B                C
Bedroom curtains sway by a window fan
C                 C/B                  C
He brings a faded pillow to his face
C             Am7                   C
A hint of her perfume, haunting the room
Am7                           Em
Hiding in the shadows of this place

[Verse 2]
C                  C/B                        C
Tentament concrete steps, pretty, young and frail
C                  C/B                 C
A cigarette on her lips leaning on a rail
C                   Am7             C
He pulled up in his car, asking her name
  Am7                              Em
A thrill that her heart could not contain

[Chorus]
  F                                      C
A life that started hard turns soft with age
    F                               G/D
The disappearing years blew by like days
   F              C                      C/B     Am7          G/D
A calendar in the picture show tears off page by page, life unwinds
    F                          F        C
Today, his little sparrow flew away

[Bridge]
Am7         C     F          C
Bobbins and pins, needle and thread
    F              C                      G/D
The quilt that she made for their wedding day
Am7         C    F          C
Chisel and saw, hammer and plane
    F              C              G                      C
The pine box and a cross where he carved her name

[Verse 4]
C                C/B           C
By the open barn door he drinks alone
C             C/B              G
In the elm a lone crow looks away
C             Am7             C
No more to be done, losing a son
   Am7                                Em
In the silence watching the sky turn gray

[Chorus]
  F                                      C
A life that started hard turns soft with age
    F                               G/D
The disappearing years blew by like days
   F              C                      C/B     Am7           G/D
A calendar in the picture show tears off page by page, life unwinds
    F                          F        C
Today, his little sparrow flew away
    F                          F        C
Today, his little sparrow flew away
