[N]
[A]
Well, I woke up Sunday morning with no [D] way to hold my head and it didn't [A] hurt
And the beer I had for breakfast wasn't [F#m] bad, so I had one more for [E] dessert
Then [A] I fumbled through my closet for [D] my clothes and found my cleanest dirty [A] shirt
[F#]
[D] And I shaved my face and combed my hair and [B] stumbled down the stairs to meet [E] the day
[A] I'd smoked my brain the night before [D] on cigarettes and songs that I'd [A] been picking
But
[E] [A] I lit my first and watched a small [F#m] kid cussing at a can that [E] he was kicking
[A] Then I crossed the empty street, caught [D] the Sunday smell of someone frying [A]
chicken
And [F#m]
[D] it took me [Bm] back to something [D] that I'd lost [E] somehow somewhere [A] along the way
On the Sunday morning [D]
sidewalk, wishing love power [A]
stone
Cause there's something in [E] a Sunday that makes a body [A] feel alone
And there's nothing short [D] of dying, half as lonesome as [Am] the sound
[A]
All asleep in the city [E]
sidewalk, Sunday morning coming [A] down
In the park I saw a daddy with [D] a laughing little girl who he was swinging
[A]
And I stopped beside a Sunday school [F#m] and listened to the [F#] song that they were [E] singing
Then [A] I headed back for home and [D] somewhere far away a lonely bell [A] was ringing
[F#m]
[D] And it echoed through [B] the canyons like [D] the disappearing [E] dreams of [A] yesterday
On the Sunday morning [D] sidewalk, wishing love power [A] stone
Cause there's something in a [E] Sunday that makes a body feel [A]
alone
And there's nothing short [D] of dying,
[Dm] half as [D] lonesome as the [A] sound
All asleep in the city [E] sidewalk, Sunday morning [A] coming down
All asleep [D]
in the city sidewalk, Sunday morning coming down
[A] [E]
