There's Hope For You
Off the Album, Animals In the Dark
arranged by Tyler Peterson
This is a really beautiful song and I'm surprised no one else has posted it yet. So
try my best.
On the E's I've noticed Will hammers on the 1st fret of the G string, and in the later
of the 2nd Verse he plays the A's with 4th fret of the D string strumming with a little
off at the end. The C# on the 4th to the Dmaj on the 5th is the same chord shape
just slide it down.
A D
My little sparrow there is hope for you
A E
Your life has just begun
A D
And I could not do what I wanted to
A E
But I fear my time is almost done
A D
But through your actions truth will carry on
A E
Go forth with joy in your heart
A D
And even though I will be gone
A E
You've got to play your part
A
Listen to me now...
CHORUS
A C# 4thFret
You will overcome, I promise you
Dmaj 5thFret A
And be whatever it is that you want to be
A
There is hope for you
D
Oh there's hope for you
A E A
But it's much too late for me
A D
Wayward weeping voices that you will hear
A E
Each with their own story to tell
A D
And you have the choice to bend your ear
A E A
And treat your fellow humans well
D A
So goodbye my little sparrow
D A
It's time that I must go
D A
To keep on the straight and narrow
A E A
There's something you must know
A
Listen to me now...
