Sunday Morning Coming Down - Johnny Cash
[Verse 1]
[G ]Well, I woke up Sunday morning
with no [C] way to hold my [D] head that didn't [G] hurt
and the [G] beer I had for breakfast wasn't [Em] bad
so I had one more for des[D]sert
then I [G] fumbled in my closet [G7] through my [C] clothes
and found my cleanest, dirty [G] shirt [Em]
then I [C] washed my face, and [D] combed my hair
[C] and stumbled down the [D] stairs to meet the day
[Verse 2]
[G] I'd smoked my mind the [G7] night before
[C] with cigarettes and [D] songs I'd been [G] picking
but I [G] lit my first and watched a small kid [Em]
playing with a can that he was [D] kicking
then I [G] walked across the [G7] street
and caught the [C] Sunday smell of someone's frying [G] chicken [Em]
and Lord it [C] took me back to some[D]thin' that I [Am] lost somewhere
[D] somehow along the [G] way
|[Chorus]
|on a Sunday morning [C] sidewalk
|I'm wishing Lord, that I was [G] stoned
|cause there's something in a [D] Sunday
|that makes the body feel [G] alone
|and there's nothing short of [C] dying
|that's half as lonesome as the [G] sound
|of the sleeping city [D] sidewalks
|and Sunday morning coming [G] down
[Verse 3]
in the [G] park I saw a [G7] daddy
with a [C] laughing little [D] girl that he was [G] swinging
and I [G] stopped beside a Sunday school
[Em] and listened to the songs they were [D] singing
then I [G] headed down the [G7] street
and somewhere [C] far away a lonely bell was ring[G]ing [Em]
and it [C] echoed through the [D] canyons
like our [Am] disappearing [D] dreams of yester[G]day
[Chorus]
