Sunday Mornin’ Comin’ Down

[C] Well I woke up Sunday morning

with no [F] way to hold my head that it [C] didn't hurt

and the beer I had for breakfast wasn't [Am] bad

so I had one more for [G]dessert [G7] [C] [G7]

Then I [C]fumbled through my closet

for my [F]clothes and found my cleanest [C]dirty [Am]shirt

and I shaved [F] my face and [G7]I combed my hair and

stumbled[F] down the stairs to meet the [G7]day

 

I [C]smoked my brain the night before

with [F]cigarettes and songs that I had been [C]pickin'

But I [C]lit my first and watched a small kid

[Am]cussin' at a can that he was [G] kickin'[G7] [C] [G7]

And I [C]crossed the empty street

and caught the [F]Sunday smell of someone [C]fryin'[Am] chicken

And it took [F]me back to [G7]somethin'

that I 'd [F]lost somewhere [G7]somehow [C]along the way

 

On the Sunday mornin' [F]sidewalk

wishin' Lord that I was [C]stone

'cause there's somethin' in [G7]Sunday

that makes a body feel[C] alone [C7]

and there's nothing short of [F]dyin'

half as lonesome as the [C]sound

of a sleepin' city [G]sidewalk [G7] [F]

Sunday [G7]mornin' comin'[C] down

 

with a [F]laughing little girl that he was [C]swingin'

 

and [Am]listened to the songs that they were [G]singin' [G7] [C] [G7]

and I [C]headed back for home

and somewhere far [F]away a lonely bell was[C] ringin' [Am]

and it [F] echoed through the [G7]canyon

like the [F] disappearing [G7]dreams of [C]yesterday
