Sunday Morning Coming Down

Shawn Mullins

 G
well i woke up sunday mornin
 C
 with no way to hold my head
 GCG
that didnt hurt        
and the beer i had for breakfast wasnt
Em D, C, C/B, Asus
bad so i had one more for dessert
 G
 and i fumbled through my closet
 bC
 for my clothes
 GEm
and found my cleanest dirty shirt     
 C
 and i shaved my face

and combed my hair
 A
 and stumbled down the stairs
 D
to meet the day

i'd smoked my brain the night before
cigarettes and songs
that i'd been pickin
but i lit my first and watched a small kid
cussin out a can he was kickin
then i crossed the empty streets and
cought the sunday smell
of someone fryin chicken
and it took me back to something
that i'd lost somehow
somewhere along the way

 C
on the sunday mornin sidewalk
 G
wishin lord that i was stoned
 DCC/BAsus
cause theres somethin in a sunday          
 G
that makes the body feel alone
 EmC
and theres nothin short of dyin
 G
half as lonesome as the sound
 DCC/BAsus
on the sleepin city sidewalk               
 G
sunday mornin comin down

in the park i saw a daddy
with a laughin little girl
he was swingin
and i stopped beside
the sunday school
and listened to the song
that they were singin
then i headed back for home
and somewhere far away
a lonely bell was ringing
and it echoed through the
canyon like
the disappearing dreams
of yesterday

on the sunday mornin sidewalk
wishin lord that i was stoned
cause theres somethin in a sunday
that makes the body feel alone
and theres nothin short of dyin
half as lonesome as a sound
on the sleepin city sidewalk
sunday mornin comin down

Well that's it.

hope you enjoy playing it...

it is a bit different to the johnny cash and kris kristophersons versions,
but its really good fun to play, and its in a good key to sing along to.
