Billy Talent - White Sparrows Chords & Tabs

This is good for people who aren't as skilled as Ian D'Sa, but still would like 
play his songs. (A.K.A. me);)



Intro: C  Em  D  Am  Em  D  2x

Verse:
  Em                D
Today I walked down our old street
 Em              D
Past the diner where we'd meet
C            Em
Now I dine alone in our old seats

Em  D

     Em                     D
The cold wind blows right through my bones
   Em                D
And I feel like I'm getting old
    C             Em
But I wish I was getting old with you

Em  D

Pre-Chorus:
   C                   Em                        C
I held your hand while we took shelter from the rain
               Em                            C
She laughed as we picked out our childrens names

Chorus:
C              Em                                C
White sparrows fell from heaven and carried her away
             Em                                       C
Black arrows cut the strings of my heart I kneel and pray

C  Em  D  Am  Em  D

Verse:
      Em                  D
Her clothes hang in the closet still
     Em                 D
Her phone sits on the windowsill
     C             Em
And every time it rings it gives me chills

Em  D
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/b/billy_talent/white_sparrows_crd_ver_2.html ]
    Em                     D
My heart just stopped when I was told
Em              D
Doctor, Doctor, on the phone
 C                Em
Said my love was never coming home

Em  D

Pre-Chorus:
    C               Em                     C
I hold your casket gently walk you to the grave
               Em                         C
Dark clouds eclipse the sun won't shine again

Chorus:
C              Em                                C
White sparrows fell from heaven and carried her away
             Em                                       C
Black arrows cut the strings of my heart I kneel and pray
               D
They gave her one more day
   Em                G
To say the words I couldn't say
     F
I'm crying in pain
 Am
Crying in pain

Em  D  Em  D  C  D  Em  D

Bridge:
    Em                   D
And I'm not looking for answers
    Em                  D
No I'm not looking for answers
     C               Em
But dear god why did you choose her?

Chorus:

C              Em                                C
White sparrows fell from heaven and carried her away
             Em                                       C
Black arrows cut the strings of my heart I kneel and pray
               D
They gave her one more day
   Em                G
To say the words I couldn't say
     F
I'm crying in pain
 Am
Crying in pain
     F
Our love will remain
     Am
I'm crying in pain

Em (let ring).
