Sunday Morning Coming Down

G

[Verse 1]
        G                              C                               G       G
Well, I woke up Sunday morning with no way to hold my head that didn't hurt
        G                               Em                            D       D
and the beer I had for breakfast wasn't bad, so I had one more for dessert.
       G                                   C                                   G      Em
Then I fumbled through my closet trough my clothes and found my cleanest dirty shirt
       C                                  Am                                   D       D
then I washed my face, combed my hair and stumbled down the stairs to meet the day.

[Verse 2]
    G                                    C                                   G        G
I'd smoked my mind the night before with cigarettes and songs that I've been pickin',
      G                                    Em                             D         D
but I lit my first and watched a small kid playing with a can that he was kickin'.
       G                                             C                              G       Em
Then I walked across the empty street and caught the sunday smell of someone fryin' chicken,
              C               Am                 C                 D              G        G
and, Lord, it took me back to something that I'd lost somewhere somehow along the way.

[Chorus]
                      C       C                           G        G
On the sunday morning sidewalk, wishing, Lord, that I was stoned
                              D     D                        G      G
'cause there's something in a sunday that makes a body feel alone.
                             C    C                        G       G
And there's nothing short of dying half as lonesome as the sound
                     D       D                          G        G
on the sleeping city sidewalk and sunday morning coming down.

[Verse 3]
       G                         C                           G         G
In the park I saw a daddy with a laughing little girl he was swingin'
      G                                    Em                                  D       D
and I stopped beside the Sunday school and listened to the song that they were singin'.
       G                                  C                          G        Em
Then I headed back for home and somewhere far away a lonely bell was ringin'
       C               Am              C            D               G         G
and it echoed thru the canyon like the disappearing dreams of yesterday.

[End-Chorus]
                      C       C                           G        G
On the sunday morning sidewalk, wishing, Lord, that I was stoned
                              D     D                        G      G
'cause there's something in a sunday that makes a body feel alone.
                             C    C                        G       G
And there's nothing short of dying half as lonesome as the sound
                     D       D                          G        G
on the sleeping city sidewalk and sunday morning coming down.

[Outro]
C       G       D       G
C       G       D       G   C   G
