Capo 1st fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Verse 1

Well I woke up Sunday morning

with no way to hold my head, that didn't hurt

and the beer I had for breakfast

wasn't bad so I had one more for dessert

Verse 2

Than I fumble through my closet for

my clothes and found my cleanest dirty shirt

and I shaved my face and combed my hair

and stumbled down the stairs to meet the day

Verse 3

I'd smoked my brain the night before

and cigarettes and songs that I've been pickin'

but I lit my first and watched a small kid

cussin' at a can that he was kicking

Verse 4

Then I crossed the empty street and caught

the sunday smell of someone fryin' chicken

and it took me back to somethin' that

I'd lost somehow somewhere along away

Chorus

On a sunday mornin' sidewalks

wishing Lord that I was stoned

'cause there is something in a sunday

that makes a body feel alone

And there's nothin' short of dyin'

half as lonesome as the sound

on the sleepin' city side walks

Sunday mornin' comin' down

Verse 5

In the park I saw a daddy with

a laughing little girl who he was swingin'

and I stopped beside a sunday school

and listened to the song that they were singin'

Verse 6

Then I headed back for home and

somewhere far away a lonely bell was ringin'

and it echoed thru the canyon like

the disepparing dreams of yesterday.

Sunday Mornin' Comin' Down

Kris Kristofferson

performed by Willie Nelson

from the album

'Willie Nelson sings Kristofferson' CBS 1979

Well I woke up Sunday morning

with no way to hold my head that it didn't hurt

and the beer I had for breakfast wasn't bad

so I had one more for dessert

Then I fumbled through my closet

for my clothes and found my cleanest dirty shirt

and I shaved my face and I combed my hair and

stumbled down the stairs to meet the day

I smoked my brain the night before

with cigarettes and songs that I had been pickin'

But I lit my first and watched a small kid

cussin' at a can that he was kickin'

And I crossed the empty street

and caught the Sunday smell of someone fryin' chicken

And it took me back to somethin'

that I 'd lost somewhere somehow along the way

On the Sunday mornin' sidewalk

wishin' Lord that I was stone

'cause there's somethin' in Sunday

that makes a body feel alone

and there's nothing short of dyin'

half as lonesome as the sound

of a sleepin' city sidewalk

Sunday mornin' comin' down

In the park I saw a daddy

with a laughing little girl that he was swingin'

and I stopped beside a Sunday school

and listened to the songs that they were singin'

and I headed back for home

and somewhere far away a lonely bell was ringin'

and it echoed through the canyon

like the disappearing dreams of yesterday
