SUNDAY MORNING COMIN' DOWN

Kris Kristofferson as performed by Shawn Mullins

with capo on third fret, so it's actually Bb

G
Well, I woke up sunday morning
C G Gsus4 G
with no way to hold my head that didn't hurt;               
G Em
And the beer I had for breakfast was not bad,
D7 D7/C D7/B D7/A
so I had one more for desert.                       
G C
Then I fumbled through my closet for my clothes
G G/F# Em
and found my cleanest dirty shirt,               
C
And I shaved my face and combed my hair
Am Am7 D
        and stumbled down the stair to meet the day.

I'd smoked my brain the night before
with cigarettes and songs that I'd been pickin';
But I lit my first and watched a small kid
cussin' at a can the he was kickin';
The I crossed the empty street and caught
the Sunday smell of someone fryin' chicken;
C Am7
And it took me back to somethin' that I'd
C D7 G Gsus4 G
lost somehow somewhere along the way.               

G C Csus4 C
On the Sunday mornin' sidewalks,              
G Gsus4 G
wishin', Lord, that I was stoned,               
D D7/C D7/B
'Cause there's something in a sunday              
D7/A G Gsus4 Em
makes a body feel alone;              
Em G C Csus4 C
        And there's nothin' short of dyin'             
G Gsus4 G
half as lonesome as the sound              
D7 D7/C D7/B
on the sleeping city's sidewalks;              
D7/A G Gsus4 G
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 song that they were singin';
Then I headed back for home, and
somewhere far away a lonely bell was ringin';
And it echoed thru the canyon
like the disappearing dreams of yesterday.

Chorus

Doo doo doo doo doo doo.....

Csus4 C Em G/F# Am D7 D G Am7 Gsus4
