A chordA
Well I woke up Sunday morning
D chordD E chordE
With no way to hold my head
A chordA
That didn't hurt
A chordA
And the beer I had for breakfast wasn't
F#m chordF#m E chordE
Bad so I had one more for dessert
A chordA
Then I fumbled through my closet
D chordD
For my clothes
A chordA F#m chordF#m
And found my cleanest dirty shirt
D chordD
And I washed my face
E chordE
And combed my hair

And stumbled down the stairs

To meet the day


A chordA
I'd smoked my mind the night before
D chordD E chordE
With cigarettes and songs
A chordA
That I'd been pickin'
A chordA
But I lit my first and watched a small kid
F#m chordF#m E chordE
Playin' with a can that he was kickin'
A chordA
Then I crossed the empty street and
D chordD
Caught the sunday smell
A chordA F#m chordF#m
Of someone fryin' chicken
D chordD
And it took me back to something

That I'd lost somehow
E chordE A chordA
Somewhere along the way


A chordA D chordD
On the sunday morning sidewalk
A chordA F#m chordF#m
Wishing lord that I was stoned
E chordE
Cause there's something in a sunday
A chordA
That makes a body feel alone
D chordD
And there's nothing short of dying
A chordA F#m chordF#m
Half as lonesome as the sound
E chordE
On the sleeping city sidewalk
A chordA
Sunday morning coming down

A chordA
In the park I saw a daddy
D chordD E chordE
With a laughing little girl
A chordA
He was swingin'
A chordA
And I stopped beside the Sunday school
F#m chordF#m
And listened to the song
E chordE
That they were singing
A chordA
Then I headed back for home
D chordD
And somewhere far away
A chordA F#m chordF#m
A chordA lonely bell was ringing
D chordD
And it echoed though the canyon like
E chordE A chordA
The disappearing dreams of yesterday



A chordA D chordD
On the sunday morning sidewalk
A chordA F#m chordF#m
Wishing lord that I was stoned
E chordE
Cause there's something in a sunday
A chordA
That makes a body feel alone
D chordD
And there's nothing short of dying
A chordA F#m chordF#m
Half as lonesome as the sound
E chordE
On the sleeping city sidewalk
A chordA
Sunday morning coming down

About this song: Sunday Morning Coming Down

Kris Kristofferson wrote this while living in a run-down tenement in Nashville when he was working as a janitor for Columbia Records. He was told if he was caught pitching songs to any artists he would be fired. He delivered this song personally to Johnny Cash after landing his National Guard helicopter in Cash's front yard - the best way he could think of to get Cash's attention. Kris made Johnny Cash listen to the song before removing the helicopter. Read more on Last.fm.
