E            Am       Am/G                   F 
On Sunday  morning everyone would leave the house 
              G       C 
Dressed for sunday service 
                  Am      Dm       E 
And through the streets I used to know  

  
        
     Am     E           Am                 A               Dm 
They go to meet their friends and so they take the family seat 
         Dm/C       Bb 
Father praise so honestly 
            G 
Forgetting all around him 
 C            E7                 Am 
When Elenor choir  sings in the quiet 
               D           
It's like a larking summer 

REF: 
      G       D                G 
The sparrow sings the sparrow flies 
              D   
With mighty wings he reaches 
  C     Bm         Am 
High as any other bird 
            D              G    
He shall inherite all the earth    :x2 


E            Am             Am/G          F 
A world of silence will he send upon the town 
           G       C 
In colors of the evening 
                  Am     Dm   E 
The thought has troubled me before 
   Am    E      Am              A         Dm 
I know alone I need a sound to fill each moment 
           Dm/C         Bb 
I had to find it out my way 
                G 
They couldn't stop me leaving 
      C         E7              Am 
As though they knew but could not say 
           D 
They let me go believing 

REF: 
      G       D                 G 
The sparrow sings the sparrow flies 
              D   
With mighty wings he reaches 
  C     Bm         Am 
High as any other bird 
            D              G        
He shall inherite all the earth    :x2 


E            Am            Am/G           F 
Through the blue and hazy drift of after two 
         G         C 
The saxophone is moaning 
            Am    Dm      E         Asus2 
I rise and step into the cruel night air
