[Verse 1]

            Am           C/G      
Come Sunday morning everyone will 
          F                     
leave the house, dressed for the 
 G
Sunday service
     C           Am             
And through the streets I used to 
   E        Am    E           C
know they go to meet their friends
             A               Dm
And so they take the family seat
        A              Dm
Father prays so earnestly, 
              G
forgetting all around him
C        E                 Am   
When Eleanor sings in the choir,
              D
 it's like a lark in summer


[Chorus]

G           D                   G
The sparrow sings, the sparrow flies
            D
With mighty wings he reaches
C          G    D     C
As high as any other bird

           G     D       G
He shall inherit all the Earth

G           D                   G
The sparrow sings, the sparrow flies
            D
With mighty wings he reaches
C          G    D     C
As high as any other bird
           G     D       G
He shall inherit all the Earth


[Verse 2]

            Am           C/G   
A wealth of silence will descend 
           F               G
upon the town, in colors of the 
evening
C               Am          E   
The thought has troubled me 
       Am      E         C
before, I know how long I'll need
            A
A sound to fill each moment
Dm        A             Dm      
I had to find it out my way, 
            G
they couldn't stop me leaving
C               E                
As though they knew they could 
   Am               D
not stay, they let me go believing .

[Chorus]

G           D                   G
The sparrow sings, the sparrow flies
            D
With mighty wings he reaches
C          G    D     C
As high as any other bird
           G     D       G
He shall inherit all the Earth
G           D                   G
The sparrow sings, the sparrow flies
            D
With mighty wings he reaches
C          G    D     C
As high as any other bird
           G     D       G
He shall inherit all the Earth


[Other]

            Am             C/G    
Through the blue and hazy drifts 
        F           G
of after two, a saxophone is moaning
C           Am           E      
I rise and step into the cold 
     Am    C/G    F   E   Am
night air
