On [Bm] Sunday morning [F#m] everyone will leave [G] the house dressed for [A] the Sunday [D] service
And through [C#] the streets I used [F#] to know they go [B] to [F#] meet their [Bm] friends
And so they take [B] the family seat, [E] voice [C] awarenessly
Forgetting [C#] about [D] him, [C#] the poor sings in [Bm] the choir
It's [E] like a lark in summer
The [B] sparrow sings, the sparrow flies [D] With mighty [E] wings he reaches
As high [E] as the [D] sky, he [E] shall inherit [A] all the earth
The [Bm] sparrow sings, the sparrow [C#m] flies With [E] mighty wings he reaches
[F#] As [E] high as the
[Bm] sky, he [E] shall inherit [A] all the earth
[F#] A [B] wealth of silence will [D] descend upon [G] the town
In [F#m] colours of the [D] evening
The thought [F#] has troubled me before
I know, alone
I [D]
need a sound [B] to fill each [Em] moment
[Bm] [C] [A] Unstop me [D] leaving
As though they knew but [A] could not say
They [E] let me go [Bm] believing
[A]
The [E] sparrow sings, the [A] sparrow flies With [E] mighty wings he [D] reaches
As high [A] as
[Bm] the sky, he shall inherit all the [A] earth
The [E] sparrow sings, the [A] sparrow [D] flies With mighty [E] wings he [D] reaches
As [A] high as the sky
[D]
[E] [A]
[F#] Through the [Bm] blue and [D] hazy drift of [G] aftertoo
A [A]
saxophone is [D] moaning
I [C#] rise and step into [F#] the cool [Bm] night air
