The Sparrow and the Medicine Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][C][G][D][G][C][G][D][G]

[Verse 1]
[G]When you mend
the patches of my [C]cloth[G]in'
You know every thread goes
[D]through my heart
[G]Guessin' that the river's gonna [C]dry up
[G]Well, I said that's not [D]the reason
why we [G]bard

[Verse 2]
[G]Lookin' 'round the corner
where [C]I left you
[G]Wonderin' whatever led [D]me there
[G]Knowin' that a quiet,
[C]unconscious feeling [G]could be bought to drown [D]a memory anywhere

[Verse 3]
[G]She said, "I [Am]don't want your medicine and I do[C]n't
need the sparrow in my [G]art (heart?)"
When I'm [A]covered by [Am]the thunder I get [C]rid
of all your breath deep in my [D]lungs
Splayed in the [G]wind [D]apart[G]
[C]

[Interlude 1]
[G][D][G][C][G][D][G]

[Verse 4]
And [G]when I touch the ceiling
on a [C]spring day
[G]Wishin' it could heed up every [D]crow
[G]So that they could lift me
by my [C]shoulders
[G]Take me from this frozen
[D]lake and let [G]you know

[Verse 5]
Just that I [Am]want to be your medicine I [C]want
to feed the sparrow [G]in your art
When I'm [Am]covered by the thunder I'll get [C]rid
of all the breath deep in our [D]lungs
Splayed the wind [G]apart
[C]

[Interlude 2]
[G][D][G][C][G][D][G]

[Verse 6]
Hell I'm still [G]standing 'round
the corner where [C]I left [G]you
Diggin' up a quite sufficient [D]track
Never [G]know when you're behind [C]that angle [G]with
[D]a tranquilizer gun in your [G]sweet pair(?)
Oh [Am]I want

[Verse 7]
to be your medicine I want
[C]to feed the sparrow [G]in your art
When we're covered [Am]by the thunder we'd become
[C]just one and feel the [D]lightning shard
Splayed the wind [G]apart

[Outro 1]
[C][G][D][G][C][G][D][G]
