Ashley Monroe - Orphan

^BmHow does a sparrow know more than I? ^EWhen its mother is gone, it learns how to fly ^BmWith no direction, its wings in the wind ^GHow does a b^Aird know more than ^BmI?

^BmHow does the winter know to hold on ^EWhen it's scared of its shadow and flowers are gone? ^BmThe leaves all lay sleepin', prayin' to hear spring-time ^Gsongs ^GHow does the w^Ainter know to hold ^Bmon?

^DNobody told me w^Ahat I should do When the w^Bmorld starts to rumble and s^Ghake under you ^DHow does an orphan ^Afind its way home? ^GReach out with ^Ano hand to h^Eold ^GHow do I m^Aake it alo^Bmne?

^BmWhat keeps a river runnin' that way? ^EIs it slave to the ocean, a wild runaway? ^BmDoes it shed a tear, all who have drowned in its w^Gake? ^GWhat keeps a r^Aiver runnin' that w^Bmay?

^DNobody told me w^Ahat I should do When the w^Bmorld starts to rumble and s^Ghake under you ^DHow does an orphan ^Afind its way home? ^GReach out with ^Ano hand to h^Eold ^GHow do I m^Aake it alo^Bmne?
