Jimmy Sparks : sub español The Lumineers chords
Start Jamming...
Jim Sparks went into bars and opened up his mouth
Said some things to a wounded man that they could not allow
[F] When it came to talking he was always on the run
[Cm] Everyone knew what the man had done
[G] He'll [F] take you [Cm] for a ride
Jimmy believed in the American way
[Ab] A prison guard he worked hard and made the minimum [F] wage
He found his freedom locking men in a cage
[Cm] Jimmy loved finding any father to keep
[Ab] A baby boy but the mother had other reasons to [F] live
She left the baby with a note on the bed
[Cm]
It was a struggle just to cover the rent
[Ab] His jail cut hours and hours, little baby [F] was sent
He needed money and he needed it quick
[C] It was 3am
Oh [Ab] my love, oh my [G] love
[Cm] Could you spare [Ab] my blood, spare my [G] blood
Jim [Cm]
woke his son and buckled him in the car
[Ab] They drove an hour from town and found a gambling [F] hall
The waitress [Ab] babysat the boy at [Gm] the bar
[Cm]
After an hour Jimmy doubled his cash
[Ab] He took his kid and his winnings as the dealer [F] just laughed
He said they leave [Ab] but they'll always [G] come back, [Cm] that's a fact
Out on the road they caught a stranger in the light
[Ab] His thumb was up and his son asked if the man was [F] alright
Jim said you never [Ab] give a hitch [G] a ride
[Cm] Cause it's us or him
It's 3am
Oh [Ab] my love, oh [G] my love
[Cm]
Could you spare [Ab] my blood, spare my [G] blood
[Cm]

[Cm]
[C] 20 years gone and now the boy is a man
[Ab] Oh Jimmy Savage got a mouth, his mouth goes a [F]-flare
And now the sharks are [Ab] coming out to [G] collect [Cm] the boys
[C] They stripped the jewelry and the boots off Jim's feet
[Ab] They kicked him out of the car and said we'll give you [F] a week
Ain't my school coming [Ab] on the 18th [G] of April, [Cm] it's 3am
Oh my [Ab] love, oh my [G] love
[C] Could [Cm] you spare [Ab] my blood, spare [G] my blood

[C] Jimmy's son is trying to make his way home
[Ab] His graveyard shift ended and it was starting to [F] snow
He sees an old man [Ab] walking [C] barefoot alone, it was 3am
His old man waved his hands with tears in his eyes
[Ab] But Jimmy's son just sped up and remembered daddy's advice
No you don't ever give a hitcher a [G] ride
[C] Cause it's us or him
Cause it's me or him
It was 3am, [Cm]
