Kris Kristofferson--Sunday Morning Coming Down
A great song, right here, from a great songwriter.
This version sounds right to me.
Enjoy.
G
Well I woke up Sunday morning
C D7 G
With no way to hold my head that didn't hurt
Em
And the beer I had for breakfast wasn't bad
D7
So I had one more for dessert
G C
Then I fumbled through my closet for my clothes
G Em
And found my cleanest dirty shirt
C Am
And I shaved my face and combed my hair
C D G C G
And stumbled down the stairs to meet the day
I'd smoked my brain the night before
C D7 G
On cigarettes and songs I'd been pickin
Em
But I lit my first and watched a small kid
D7
Cussin at a can that he was kickin
G C
Then I crossed the empty street and caught the Sunday smell
G Em
Of someone fryin chicken
C Am
And it took me back to something
C D G C G
I'd lost somehow somewhere along the way
CHORUS
C
On a Sunday morning sidewalk
G
Wishin Lord that I was stoned
D
'Cause there's something in a Sunday
G
That makes a body feel alone
C
There ain't nothin short of dying
G
Half as lonesome as the sound
D
On the sleepin city sidewalks
G
Sunday mornin coming down
In the park I saw a daddy
C D7 G
With a laughing little girl who he was swingin
Em
And I stopped beside a Sunday school
D7
Listened to the song that they were singin
G C
Then I headed back for home and somewhere along the way
G Em
A lonely bell was ringin
C Am
And it echoed through the canyons
C D G C G
Like the disappearin dreams of yesterday
CHORUS
Sorry if the chord placement is a tad off; it's hard to do this from memory.
Just trust me, the change is somewhere near where I put it.
P.S. I've seen versions of it with a capo on the 1st fret, leave out the
Am and D7 chords, but it doesn't sound right to me.
