Sunday Morning Coming Down Kris Kristofferson
Kris Kristofferson--Sunday Morning Coming Down
A great song, right here, from a great songwriter.
This version sounds right to me.
Enjoy.
[G]Well I woke up Sunday morning
With no [C]way to hold my [D7]head that didn't [G]hurt
And the beer I had for breakfast wasn't [Em]bad
So I had one more for d[D7]essert
Then I [G]fumbled through my closet for my c[C]lothes
And found my cleanest dirty [G]shirt[Em]
And I s[C]haved my face and c[Am]ombed my hair
And st[C]umbled down the s[D]tairs to meet the d[G]ay[C] [G]
I'd smoked my brain the night before
On c[C]igarettes and s[D7]ongs I'd been p[G]ickin
But I lit my first and watched a small [Em]kid
Cussin at a can that he was k[D7]ickin
Then I [G]crossed the empty street and caught the S[C]unday smell
Of someone fryin c[G]hicken[Em]
And it t[C]ook me back to s[Am]omething
I'd lost s[C]omehow so[D]mewhere along the [G]way[C] [G]
CHORUS
On a Sunday morning [C]sidewalk
Wishin Lord that I was s[G]toned
'Cause there's something in a [D]Sunday
That makes a body feel a[G]lone
There ain't nothin short of [C]dying
Half as lonesome as the s[G]ound
On the sleepin city [D]sidewalks
Sunday mornin coming d[G]own
In the park I saw a daddy
With a l[C]aughing little gi[D7]rl who he was s[G]wingin
And I stopped beside a Sunday [Em]school
Listened to the song that they were s[D7]ingin
Then I [G]headed back for home and somewhere a[C]long the way
A lonely bell was r[G]ingin[Em]
And it e[C]choed through the [Am]canyons
Like the [C]disappearin d[D]reams of yesterd[G]ay[C] [G]
CHORUS
Sorry if the chord placement is a tad off; it's hard to do this from memory.
Just trust me, the change is somewhere near where I put it.
P.S. I've seen versions of it with a capo on the 1st fret, leave out the
Am and D7 chords, but it doesn't sound right to me.
