[Verse 1]
I was B7nothing but a city boy
My B7trumpet was my only toy
I've been B7blowing my horn
Since I B7knew I was born
But there B7isn't nobody wants to know
[Chorus]
I've been
E7Sleeping on the sidewalk
B7Rollin' down the road
I F#7may get hungry
But I E7sure don't want to go B7home
E7  F#7
[Verse 2]
So round the B7corner comes a limousine
And the B7biggest grin I've ever seen
Come on B7sonny won't you sign
Right alB7ong the dotted line
What you B7saying Are you B7playing
Sure you B7don't mean me?
[Chorus]
I've been
E7Sleeping on the sidewalk
B7Rollin' down the road
I F#7may get hungry
But I E7sure don't want to go B7home
E7 F#7
[Bridge 1]
They E7took me to a room without a table
They said B7blow your trumpet into here
I E7played around as well as I was able
And F#7soon we had the record of the E7year
[Verse 3]
I was a B7legend all through the land
I was B7blowing to a million fans
B7Nothing' was a-missing
All the B7people want to listen
You'd have B7thought I was a happy man
[Chorus]
And I was
E7Sleeping like a princess
B7Never touch the road
F#7I don't get hungry
And I E7sure don't want to go B7home
(have to have some fun. . .)

[Verse 1]

I was nothing but a city boy

My trumpet was my only toy

I've been blowing my horn

Since I knew I was born

But there isn't nobody wants to know

Sleeping on the sidewalk

Rollin' down the road

F#7

I may get hungry

E7 B7

But I sure don't want to go home

E7 F#7

[Verse 2]

So round the corner comes a limousine

And the biggest grin I've ever seen

Come on sonny won't you sign

Right along the dotted line

B7 B7

What you saying Are you playing

Sure you don't mean me?

[Chorus]

I've been

Sleeping on the sidewalk

Rollin' down the road

[Bridge 1]

They took me to a room without a table

They said blow your trumpet into here

I played around as well as I was able

F#7 E7

And soon we had the record of the year

I was a legend all through the land

I was blowing to a million fans

Nothing' was a-missing

All the people want to listen

You'd have thought I was a happy man

And I was

Sleeping like a princess

Never touch the road
