Sunday Morning Coming Down

Sunday Morning Coming Down  
by Johnny Cash
 
C                          
Well I woke up Sunday morning   
        F                               C     
With no way to hold my head that didn't hurt
                                     
And the beer I had for breakfast   
      Am                         G7      
Wasn't bad so I had one more for dessert
       C                               
Then I fumbled in my closet through   
   F                                   C     
my clothes and found my cleanest dirty shirt
       G7                                    
Than I washed my face and combed my hair and  
                                     C
Stumbled down the stairs to meet the day 
 
I'd smoked my mind the night before   
With cigarettes and songs I'd been picking
But I lit my first and watched   
A small kid playing with a can that he was kicking
 
Then I walked across the street   
And caught the Sunday smell of someone frying chicken
And Lord it took me back to something   
That I lost somewhere somehow along the way
 
chorus
                    F           
On a Sunday morning sidewalk  
                            C       
I'm wishing Lord that I was stoned
                              G7         
Cause there's something in a Sunday  
                        C      
That makes a body feel alone
                             F         
And there's nothing short of dieing  
                         C      
That's half as lonesome as the sound
                     G7           
Of the sleeping city sidewalk  
                           C     
And Sunday morning coming down
 
In the park I saw a Daddy   
With a laughing little girl that he was swinging
And I stopped beside a Sunday school   
And listened to the songs they were singing
Then I headed down the street   
And somewhere far away a lonely bell was ringing
And it echoed through the canyons   
Like the disappearing dreams of yesterday

 

repeat chorus
