Sunday Mornin' Coming' Down

         G
Well, I woke up Sunday morning
         C               D                  G
With no way to hold my head that it didn't hurt
                                        Em
And the beer I had for breakfast wasn't bad
                          D   D7
So I had one more for dessert
        G                                 C
Then I fumbled through my closet for my clothes
                             G    Em
And found my cleanest dirty shirt
        C                 D
And I shaved my face and combed my hair
      C                 D                 D7
And stumbled down the stairs to meet the day

            G
Well, I`d smoked my brain the night before
     C              D                     G
With cigarettes and songs that I'd been a-pickin'

But I lit my first and watched a small kid
Em                            D      D7
Cussin' at a can that he was kickin'
         G
Then I crossed the empty street and caught
     C                              G      Em
The Sunday smell of someone fryin' chicken
        C               D                   C
And it took me back to somethin' that I'd lost
               D              G  G7
Somehow, somewhere along the way

G                       C
    On a Sunday morning sidewalk
                                G
I'm wishing, Lord, that I was stone
                                D    D7
'Cause there's something in a Sunday
                         G   G7
That makes a body feel alone
                                  C
And there ain't nothing short of dying
                         G    Em
Half as lonesome as the sound
                    D
Of a sleeping city sidewalk
            D7            G    C G
And Sunday morning coming down

        G
In the park I saw a daddy
        C               D                 G
With a laughin' little girl that he was swingin'

And I stopped beside a Sunday school
    Em                                   D      D7
And listened to the songs that they were singin'
        G
Then I headed back for home
              C                            G     Em
And somewhere far away a lonely bell was ringin'
        C                  D
And it echoed through the canyon
        C             D             G   G7
Like a disappearin' dream of yesterday
