Richard Shindell - Sparrows Point
CAPO: 4th Fret
INTRO: C G Am
C G Am
My name is William Taylor
C G
And I was born in '24
Am C G Am
Too late to know the Great Fallen
C G
In time to know the Great Fall
F C G Am
When my father died of money
F C G
My mother lived in spite
F C G Am
We laughed when nothing was funny
C G
And how we wept when nothing was left
Am C G Am
So I left her there in boomtown
C G
When I reached fifteen years
Am C G Am
And I travelled mostly northeast
C G
With my head held mostly down
F C G Am
'Cause they said there was more in Baltimore
F C G
Where those shipyards never close
F C G Am
You can sell the man your labour
C G Am
And send the money home
C G Am
Broadway found me penniless
C G
And the mission found me last
Am C G Am
They gave me a coat and three days rest
C G
And when I awoke and left
F C G Am
A shroud of steam surrounded me
F C G
And I was borne away
F C G Am
And I found myself at Sparrows Point
C G Am
With a slingshot in my hand
C G Am
Standing there around me
