Sunday Morning Coming Down
recorded by Johnny Cash
written by Kris Kristofferson
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
Am C
Stumbled down the stairs to meet the day
C
I'd smoked my mind the night before
F C
With cigarettes and songs I'd been picking
G7
But I lit my first and watched
C
A small kid playing with a can that he was kicking
C
Then I walked across the street
F C
And caught the Sunday smell of someone frying chicken
G7
And Lord it took me back to something
C
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
C
In the park I saw a Daddy
F
With a laughing little girl that he was swinging
And I stopped beside a Sunday school
Am C
And listened to the songs they were singing
C
Then I headed down the street
F C
And somewhere far Away a lonely bell was ringing
And it echoed through the canyons
Am C
Like the disappearing dreams of yesterday
repeat chorus
