Sunday Morning Coming Down Chords & Lyrics by Johnny Cash
Sunday Morning Coming Down
guitar chords lyrics
Capo 1st fret
G
Well, I woke up Sunday mornin'
C D7 G
With no way to hold my head that didn't hurt.
And the beer I had for breakfast
Em D7
Wasn't bad, so I had one more for des-sert.
G
Then I fumbled in my closet
C
G Em
Through my clothes and found my cleanest dirty shirt.
C D
Then I washed my face and combed my hair
Am7 D7
And stumbled down the stairs to meet the day.
G
I'd smoked my brains the night before
C D7 G
With cigarettes and songs I'd been pickin'.
But I lit my first and watched a small kid
Em D7
Playin' with a can that he was kickin'.
G
Then I walked across the street
C G
Em
And caught the Sunday smell of someone's fryin' chicken.
C D
And, Lord, it took me back to something
Am7 D7 G
That I lost somewhere, somehow along the way.
C
On a Sunday mornin' sidewalk,
G
I'm wishin', lord, that I was stoned.
D7
'Cause there's something in a Sunday
G
That makes a body feel a-lone.
C
And there's nothin' short of dyin'
G
That's half as lonesome as the sound
D7
Of the sleepin' city sidewalks
G
And Sunday mornin' comin' down.
G
In the park I saw a Daddy
C D7 G
With a laughin' little girl that he was swingin'.
And I stopped beside a Sunday school
Em D7
And listened to the songs they were singin'.
G
Then I headed down the streets
C G
Em
And somewhere far away a lonely bell was ringin',
C D
Am7 D7 G
And it echoed through the canyons like a disappearin' dreams of yes-terday.
C
On a Sunday mornin' sidewalk,
G
I'm wishin', lord, that I was stoned.
D7
'Cause there's something in a Sunday
G
That makes a body feel a-lone.
C
And there's nothin' short of dyin'
G
That's half as lonesome as the sound
D7
Of the sleepin' city sidewalks
G
And Sunday mornin' comin' down.
