Sunday Mornin' Comin' Down Ray Stevens
Well I woke up Sunday mornin' with no w[C]ay to hold my h[D7]ead that didn't h[G7]urt
And the beer I had for breakfast wasn't [Em7]bad, so I had 1 more for d[D7]essert
Then I f[G7]umbled through my closet for my [C]clothes and found my [C7]cleanest dirty s[G7]hirt [Em7]
And I s[C7]haved my face, c[Am7]ombed my hair, st[C7]umbled down the st[D7]airs to meet the d[G7]ay
Well I smoked my brain the night before on cigarettes and songs I'd been a-pickin
But I lit my first and watched a small kid cussin' at a can that he was kickin'
Then I crossed the empty street 'n caught the Sunday smell of someone fryin' chicken
And it took me back to somethin' that I lost somehow somewhere along the way
On the Sunday mornin' sidewalk [C7] wishi[C]n' Lord that I was stoned [G7]
'Cause there's somethin' in a S[D7]unday, makes a body feel al[G7]one
And there's nothin' short of [C7]dyin'[C] half as lonesome as the s[G7]ound
On a sleepy city sid[D7]ewalk, Sunday mornin' comin' d[G7]own
In the park I saw a daddy with a laughin' little girl that he was swingin'
And I stopped beside a 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 ringin'
And it echoed through the canyon like the disappearin' dreams of yesterday
CHORUS
Mmmm.... (like lyrics of CHORUS)
NOTE 2: There's a chorus singing a hymn after Stevens sings "...song that they were singin'."
Thanks to randykall, I know that hymn to go: "Bringin' in the sheaves, bringin' in the sheaves."
NOTE 3 (yeah, too many notes): There are quite a few walk-downs in this song; in fact,
pretty much every chord in the verses is a walkdown. Just start with the bass note and
go down, and add any interesting little picking patterns you want.
