Sunday Morning Coming Down chords by Johnny Cash (Official Version)
Verse 1
G
Well, I woke up Sunday morning
C
D7
G
With no way to hold my head that didn't hurt
G
Em
And the beer I had for breakfast wasn't bad
D7
So I had one more for dessert
G
G7
Then I fumbled in my closet
C
through my clothes,
G
Em
and found my cleanest dirty shirt
C
D7
Then I washed my face and combed my hair
Am
D7
And stumbled down the stairs to meet the day
Verse 2
G
G7
I'd smoked my mind the night before
C
D7
G
With cigarettes and songs I'd been picking
G
But I lit my first and watched a small kid
Em
D7
Playing with a can that he was kicking
G
G7
Then I walked across the street
C
And caught the Sunday smell
G
Em
of someone's frying chicken
C
D7
And Lord, it took me back to something
Am
that I'd lost
D7
G
Somewhere, somehow along the way

Chorus 1
G
C
On a Sunday morning sidewalk
G
I'm wishing, Lord, that I was stoned
D7
'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
D7
Of the sleeping city sidewalk
G
And Sunday morning coming down
Verse 3
G
G7
In the park I saw a daddy
C
D7
G
With a laughing little girl that he was swinging
G
And I stopped beside a Sunday school
Em
D7
And listened to the songs they were singing
G
G7
Then I headed down the street
C
And somewhere far away
G
Em
a lonely bell was ringing
C
D7
And it echoed through the canyons
Am
D7
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
D7
'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
D7
Of the sleeping city sidewalk
G
And Sunday morning coming down
