 F                
well i woke up sunday mornin
F
with no way to hold my head
             F     F  F
that didnt hurt
    
and the beer i had for breakfast wasnt
Am                         G, F, F/E, Dsus
bad so i had one more for dessert
F
and i fumbled through my closet
E         F
for my clothes
                              F      Am
and found my cleanest dirty shirt
F           
and i shaved my face

and combed my hair
D                 
and stumbled down the stairs
              G
to meet the day



i'd smoked my brain the night before
cigarettes and songs
that i'd been pickin
but i lit my first and watched a small kid
cussin out a can he was kickin
then i crossed the empty streets and
cought the sunday smell
of someone fryin chicken
and it took me back to something
that i'd lost somehow
somewhere along the way

                       F
on the sunday mornin sidewalk
                          F
wishin lord that i was stoned
                            G   F   F/E   Dsus
cause theres somethin in a sunday
                           F
that makes the body feel alone
 Am                          F
and theres nothin short of dyin
                           F
half as lonesome as the sound
                         G    F    F/E    Dsus
on the sleepin city sidewalk
                      F
sunday mornin comin down



in the park i saw a daddy
with a laughin little girl
he was swingin
and i stopped beside
the 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 ringing
and it echoed through the
canyon like
the disappearing dreams
of yesterday

on the sunday mornin sidewalk
wishin lord that i was stoned
cause theres somethin in a sunday
that makes the body feel alone
and theres nothin short of dyin
half as lonesome as a sound
on the sleepin city sidewalk
sunday mornin comin down

Well that's it.

hope you enjoy playing it...

it is a bit different to the johnny cash and kris kristophersons versions,
but its really good fun to play, and its in a good key to sing along to.
