Sunday Morning Coming Down chords by Johnny Cash

  • G

  • C

  • D

  • Em

  • Am

Verse 1
G
Well, I woke up Sunday morning
C
D
G
With no way to hold my head that didn't hurt
G
Em
And the beer I had for breakfast wasn't bad
D
So I had one more for dessert
G
Then I fumbled in my closet
C
through my clothes,
G
Em
and found my cleanest dirty shirt
C
D
Then I washed my face and combed my hair
Am
D
And stumbled down the stairs to meet the day
Verse 2
G
I'd smoked my mind the night before
C
D
G
With cigarettes and songs I'd been picking
G
But I lit my first and watched a small kid
Em
D
Playing with a can that he was kicking
G
Then I walked across the street
C
And caught the Sunday smell
G
Em
of someone's frying chicken
C
D
And Lord, it took me back to something
Am
that I'd lost
D
G
Somewhere, somehow along the way
Chorus 1
G
C
On a Sunday morning sidewalk
G
I'm wishing, Lord, that I was stoned
D
'Cause there's something in a Sunday
G
That makes a body feel alone
C
And there's nothing short a' dying
G
That's half as lonesome as the sound
D
Of the sleeping city sidewalk
G
And Sunday morning coming down
Verse 3
G
In the park I saw a daddy
C
D
G
With a laughing little girl that he was swinging
G
And I stopped beside a Sunday school
Em
D
And listened to the songs they were singing
G
Then I headed down the street
C
And somewhere far away
G
Em
a lonely bell was ringing
C
D
And it echoed through the canyons
Am
D
G
Like the disappearing dreams of yesterday
Chorus 2
G
C
On a Sunday morning sidewalk
G
I'm wishing, Lord, that I was stoned
D
'Cause there's something in a Sunday
G
That makes a body feel alone
C
And there's nothing short a' dying
G
That's half as lonesome as the sound
D
Of the sleeping city sidewalk
G
And Sunday morning coming down
