  [E] [B] [E] [A]  [E] [B]

  [E] [A] [E] [A]

[E] Seen the carni[A]val at Rome,
[E] Had the women I [A] had the [B] booze.
[E] All I can re[A]member now
[E] Is little kids with[A]out no [B] shoes.

So I [E] saw that train and [B] I got on it
With a [E] heartful of hate and a [A] lust for vomit.
Now I'm [E] walking on the [B] sunnyside of the [E] street.

  [E] [A] [E] [A]

[E] Stepped over bodies [A] in Bombay
[E] Tried to make it to the [A] U. S. [B] A.
[E] Ended up [A] in Nepal
[E] Up on a roof with [A] nothing at [B] all

And I [E] knew that [B] day
I was [E] going to [A] stay
Right where I [E] am, on the [B] sunnyside of the [E] street.

  [E] [A] [E] [A]

  Solo On Verse Chords

[A] Been in a palace, and I've [E] been in a jail;
[A] I just don't want to be re[E]born a [B] snail.

Just [E] want to [B] spend
E[E]terni[A]ty
Right where I [E] am, on the [B] sunnyside of the [E] street.

  [E] [A] [E] [A]

As my [E] mother wept it was [B] then I swore
To [E] take my life as I [A] would a whore.
I [E] know I'm better [B] than before.
I will [E] not be recon[A]structed.
So I [E] stay right here on the [B] sunnyside of the [E] street.

The [B] sunnyside of the [E] street.
The [B] sunnyside of the [E] street.
The [B] sunnyside of the [E] street.

  [E] [B] [E] [A]  [E] [B] [E] [B]
