INTRO: G

Verse 1:

G

Well, I woke up Sunday morning

C D G

With no way to hold my head that didn't hurt.

G Em

And the beer I had for breakfast wasn't bad

D

So I had one more for dessert.

G C

Then I fumbled in my closet, through my clothes

G G D/F# Em

And found my cleanest dirty shirt.

C D

Then I washed my face and combed my hair,

C D

And Stumbled down the stairs to meet the day.

Verse 2:

G

I smoked my mind the night before

C D G

With cigarettes and songs that I'd been pickin'.

G Em

But I lit my first and watched a small kid playin'

D

With a can that he was kickin'.

G

Then I walked across the street and

C G G D/F# Em

Caught the Sunday smell of someone's fried chicken.

C D

And then Lord it took me back to somethin'

C D G

That I'd lost somewhere, somehow along the way.

Chorus:

C

On a Sunday morning sidewalk

G

I'm wishing Lord that I was stoned.

D

'Cause there's something in a Sunday

G

That makes a body feel alone.

C

And there ain't nothing short of dying

G

Thats half as lonesome as the sound

D

Of the sleeping city sidewalk

G

and Sunday morning coming down.

Verse 3:

G

In the park I saw a daddy

C D G

With a laughin' little girl that he was swingin'.

G Em

And I stopped beside a Sunday school and listened

D

To the songs they were singin'.

G

Then I headed down the streets

C G G D/F# Em

And somewhere far away a lonely bell was ringin'.

C D

And it echoed through the canyons

C D G

Like the disappearin' dreams of yesterday.

(Chorus)
