Sunday Morning Coming Down chords by Faron Young
Verse 1
G
Well, I woke up Sunday morning
C
with no way to hold my head.
G
That didn't hurt.
And the beer I had for breakfast
Em
wasn't bad,
G
D
so I had one more for dessert.
G
And I fumbled in my closet,
C
threw my clothes,
G
Em
and found my cleanest, dirtiest shirt
C
Then I washed my face and
combed my hair,
Am
D
stumbled down the stairs to greet the day
G
I smoked my mind the night before
C
With cigarettes and songs
G
that I'd been pickin'
And I lied my first and watched
a small kid
Em
D
Cussin' out a can that he'd been kickin'
G
I crossed the empty street
C
and caught the country smell
G
Em
of someone cookin' chicken
C
Am
And it took me back to somethin'
C
D
I lost somewhere,
G
somehow along the way
C
On a Sunday morning sidewalk
G
Wishing, Lord, that I was stoned
D
Cause there's something in a Sunday
G
That makes the body feel alone
C
And there's nothing short of dyin'
G
That's half as lonesome as the sound
D
Of a sleepin' city sidewalk
G
And a Sunday mornin' comin' down
In the park
C
I saw a daddy with a laughin' little girl
G
that he was swingin'.
And I stopped beside a Sunday school
Em
D
to listen to the song that they were singin'.
G
I headed on toward a home somewhere
C
G
Em
And heard a lonely bell a -ringin'
C
And it echoed in the canyon
Am
C
Like the disappearing
D
G
dreams of yesterday
C
On a Sunday morning sidewalk
G
Wishing, Lord, that I was stoned
D
