SUNDAY MORNING COMIN' DOWN

Kris Kristofferson as performed by Shawn Mullins

play it in G with capo on third fret!

G
Well, I woke up sunday morning
C G Gsus4 G
with no way to hold my head that didn't hurt;               
G Em
And the beer I had for breakfast was not bad,
D7 D7/C D7/B D7/A
so I had one more for desert.                       
G C
Then I fumbled through my closet for my clothes
G G/F# Em
and found my cleanest dirty shirt,               
C
And I shaved my face and combed my hair
Am Am7 D
        and stumbled down the stair to meet the day.

G
I'd smoked my brain the night before
C G Gsus4 G
        with cigarettes and songs that I'd been pickin';              
G Em
But I lit my first and watched a small kid      
D7 D7/C D7/B D7/A
cussin' at a can the he was kickin';                        
G
The I crossed the empty street and caught
C G G/F# Em
the Sunday smell of someone fryin' chicken;               
C Am7
And it took me back to somethin' that I'd
C D7 G Gsus4 G
lost somehow somewhere along the way.               

G C Csus4 C
On the Sunday mornin' sidewalks,              
G Gsus4 G
wishin', Lord, that I was stoned,               
D D7/C D7/B
'Cause there's something in a sunday              
D7/A G Gsus4 Em
makes a body feel alone;               
Em G C Csus4 C
        And there's nothin' short of dyin'             
G Gsus4 G
half as lonesome as the sound               
D7 D7/C D7/B
on the sleeping city's sidewalks;               
D7/A G Gsus4 G
Sunday mornin' comin' down.              

G
In the park I saw a daddy
C G Gsus4 G
with a laughing little girl that he was swingin';               
G Em
And I stopped beside a Sunday School           and
D7 D7/C D7/B D7/A
listened to the song that they were singin';                       
G
Then I headed back for home, and
C G G/F# Em
somewhere far away a lonely bell was ringin';               
C Am7
And it echoed thru the canyon
C D7 G Gsus4 G
like the disappearing dreams of yesterday.               

Chorus

Doo doo doo doo doo doo.....

Csus4 Am G G/F# D7 C Am7 Em D Gsus4
