Capo on 2 Em G C Em Em G C Em Em G Dusk it mimics crisis in seated summer's craze C Em when 9 to 5 the people work and shun smog's heavy haze Em G Nature's varmints duck about in the walls, the pipes, the grates C Em But truth be told in the shadows fold at the closing of the day D Em Dusk is when all creatures come to bask in golden shade C G and every species acts as starved and feeds as the light fades Am C Piggish are the worms, piggish are the snakes D Fast as jets the sparrows fall to feed all in one place G C D G I sat there where the sparrows dropped that's where I was waiting G C Em D Calmly, as the sparrows dropped, just as the day was fading G There, among the birds athirst is where I'd calmly stay Em C G And feel as though the outsides matched my insides disarray G I knew no beauty but the dusk until that crucial eve Em C G When my beloved poised as I, stood staring back at me D Em If this town was small enough, they'd call us crazy cursed C G But we in random city went ignored, which might be worse Am C I wooed her there in nature's mess, my only and my first D And like a sparrow she fell for me, my eyes in hers, immersed G C D G She said, "Meet me where the sparrows drop, that's where I'll be waiting, G C Em D Tomorrow, as the sparrows drop, just as the day is fading." [ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/o/one-hundred-dollars/346580.html ] G In my youth I'd made a deal, some lessons for my time Em C G To train my trigger finger and plain faced march in line G Just as I had found my peace my country found its war Em C G I was sent then overseas to fight, who knows what for D Em And in the airport, in the crowd my love she wept for me C G She held her hand on my back small, as calm as she could be Am C She said: "I love you for your eyes, you know, because they see like mine D With every bomb, just see a sparrow, falling down in time." G C D G She said, "Meet me where the sparrows drop, that's where I'll be waiting, G C Em D Tomorrow, as the sparrows drop, just as the day is fading." Em Em/G (Rapidly switch back and forth between the two) Em G C Em Em G C Em Em G I can tell you of the fury or the wild eyed hateful man C Em I can tell you that I sit here now because I cannot stand Em G Now I know nothing but the night, the sluggishness of time C Em In the trenches with the rest, who've lost their limbs and minds D Em And I can't see the detail now but memory I know C G With every sound explosion feel the warmth around me glow Am C I clutch my rifle tightly, rapid fire skyward bound D Hope to hit a sparrow feel it fall onto the ground G C D G She said, "Meet me where the sparrows drop, that's where I'll be waiting, G C Em D Every day till your return, just as the day is fading." G C D G I sit and watch the sparrows drop, calmly as I'm waiting G C Em D Everyday for my return just as the day is fading. Em Em/G  |
