Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]On Sunday morning
everyone [E]will leave the [Am]house
Dressed for the [G]Sunday service
[C]and through the [Bm]streets I used to [E]know
They [Am]go to m[E]eet their friends[Am]
and so they [A]take the family [Dm]seat
Father [A]prays so earnestly
[Dm]for getting [D]all [G]around him
[C]When Eleanor [E]sings in the [Am]choir,
it's [A]like a [D]lark [A]in [D]summer.
[G]The sparrow [D]sings,
the sparrow [G]flies,
with mighty [D]wings he reaches
[C]As high as [G]any oth[D]er [G]bird,
[C]he shall inher[G]it [D]all the [G]earth.
A wealth of si[Am]lence
will [E]descend upon the [Am]town
In colours [G]of the evening
[C]This thought has [Bm]troubled me before
[E]I k[Am]now, a[E]lone,
I [Am]need a song to [A]fill each moment
[Dm]I had to find [A]it out my way
[Dm]They couldn't stop[G] me leaving
[C]As though they [E]knew,
but could not [Am]say,
They let me [D]go, [A]believ[D] in[G]g.
Sparrow [D]sings, the sparrow [G]flies,
With mighty [D]wings he reaches,
[C]As high as any[G] other [D]bir[G]d,
[C]He shall inher[G]it [D]all the [G]earth.
Through the [Am]blue and hazy
mis[E]t of after dew
[Am]A saxoph[G]one is moaning
[C]I rise and s[Bm]tep into t[E]he
cool night air
[A][Am][A]
