Verse 1
Gadd9
Mill worker houses lined up in a row,
C
Another southern Sunday morning blow
Gadd9
Beneath the steeple
all the people have begun
C
Shakin' hands with the man
who grips the gospel gun

Pre-chorus 1
C
While the quiet prayer,
D7sus4

the smell of dinner on the ground
C
Heals up the morning air,
Em
D7sus4
ain't nothin' sweeter around
D7
I can almost hear my mama pray
Chorus 1

"Oh lord forgive us when we doubt,"

Verse 2
Gadd9
A ragged rebel flag flies high above it all
C
Popping in the wind like an angry cannon ball
Gadd9
The holes of history are cold and still
C
But they still smell the powder burnin'
and they probably always will
Pre-chorus 2
C
And on the old town square
D7sus4
D7
under the barber shop pole,
C
They sat me up in the chair
Em
D7sus4
when I was four years old
D7
I can almost hear my papa say
Chorus 2
Gadd9
"Won't you hold still son,
stop squirmn' around
C
Cadd9
Another southern Sundays coming down"

Em
D7sus4

Chorus 3
Gadd9
(say) "You'll make it big one day,
you'll leave this town,"

Some other lazy Sunday
Cadd9
you'll come back around

Cadd9
Verse 3
Gadd9
I can feel the evening sun go down
C
And all the lights in the houses
Cadd9
one by one go out
Gadd9
Softly in the distance nothing stirs about
D
And the night is filled with the sound
Cadd9
of a whippoorwill
On a Sunday in the south
Outro 1
Gadd9
All right
C
(Just another Sunday)
Gadd9
Just another Sunday in the south
C
Oh, another sacred Sunday in the south
Gadd9
C
(Just another Sunday)
How I miss those old sweet Sundays
Gadd9
in the south
C
(Oh, another sacred Sunday)
I can hear my mama calling in the south
Gadd9
C
(Just another Sunday)
