E             A
Seen the carnival at Rome
 E            A          B
Had the women I had the booze
E            A
All I can remember now
E                  A       B
Is little kids without no shoes

Chorus:
      E                 B
So I saw that train And I got on it
        E                      A
With a heartful of hate And a lust for vomit
         E              B                 E  A E A
Now I'm walking on the sunnyside of the street

Stepped over bodies in Bombay
Tried to make it to the USA
Ended up in Nepal
Up on the roof with nothing at all

Chorus:
And I knew that day
I was going to stay right where I am
On the sunnyside of the street

Been in a palace, been in a jail
I just don't want to be reborn a snail
I just want to spend eternity right where I am
On the sunnyside of the street

As my mother wept, it was then I swore
To take my life as I would a whore
I know I'm better than before
I will not be reconstructed
Just wanna stay right here
On the sunnyside of the street
