Big Thief - Sparrow: chords

G#                         C#  Fm
Wrapped in the wings of a sparrow
F#                     C#  C#maj7
Beak is as sharp as an arrow
G#                     C#  Fm
Sings in a whispering whistle
F#                     C#  C#maj7
Sleeps in the ivy and thistle

Owls out swooping and howling
Deep in the midnight a-prowling
Mama, the scream of the eagle
Threading my heart through the needle

Threading the blood through the apple
Sucking the juice from the apple
Eating the seeds of the apple
Bearing the tree of the apple

Trapped in the weeds like a scarecrow
Stuck to the wind like Velcro
Distantly hearing the bell toll
Warbling chime through the meadow

Mama, the scream of the eagle
Threading my heart through the needle
Threading the blood through the apple
Eve sucked the juice from the apple

Nakedly running, I saw her
Boy chasing after to stall her
I wish I'd have spoken to call her
Before she found fabric to shawl her

Breasts bound and burdened with fiber
Adam came trembling beside her
And he said, and he said
That she has the poison inside her

She talks to snakes and they guide her
She has the poison inside her
She talks to snakes and they guide her
She has the poison inside her

She talks to snakes and they guide her
She has the poison inside her
She talks to snakes and they guide her
