Well, I | woke up sunday morning |
Eb | Bb | Bbsus4 | Bb | |
with no | way to hold my head that didn't | hurt; |
Bb | Gm | |
And the | beer I had for breakfast was not | bad, |
F7 | F7/Eb | F7/D | F7/C | |
so I had one more for de | sert. |
Bb | Eb | |
Then I | fumbled through my closet for my | clothes |
Bb | Bb/A | Gm | |
and found my cleanest dirty | shirt, |
Eb | |
And I | shaved my face and combed my hair |
Cm | Cm7 | F | |
and stumbled down the | stair to meet the | day. |
Bb | |
I'd | smoked my brain the night before |
Eb | Bb | Bbsus4 | Bb | |
with cigarettes and songs that I'd been | pickin'; |
Bb | Gm | |
But I | lit my first and watched a small kid |
F7 | F7/Eb | F7/D | F7/C | |
cussin' at a can the he was | kickin'; |
Bb | |
The I | crossed the empty street and caught |
Eb | Bb | Bb/A | Gm | |
the | Sunday smell of someone fryin' | chicken; |
Eb | Cm7 | |
And it | took me back to | somethin' that I'd |
Eb | F7 | Bb | Bbsus4 | Bb | |
lost somehow | somewhere along the | way. |
Bb | Eb | Ebsus4 | Eb | |
On the Sunday mornin' | sidewalks, |
Bb | Bbsus4 | Bb | |
wishin', Lord, that I was | stoned, |
F | F7/Eb | F7/D | |
'Cause there's something in a | sunday |
F7/C | Bb | Bbsus4 | Gm | |
makes a | body feel a | lone; |
Gm | Bb | Eb | Ebsus4 | Eb | |
And there's | nothin' short of | dyin' |
Bb | Bbsus4 | Bb | |
half as lonesome as the | sound |
F7 | F7/Eb | F7/D | |
on the sleeping city's | sidewalks; |
F7/C | Bb | Bbsus4 | Bb | |
Sunday | mornin' comin' | down. |
Bb | |
In the | park I saw a daddy |
Eb | Bb | Bbsus4 | Bb | |
with a | laughing little girl that he was | swingin'; |
Bb | Gm | |
And I | stopped beside a Sunday School | and |
F7 | F7/Eb | F7/D | F7/C | |
listened to the song that they were | singin'; |
Bb | |
Then I | headed back for home, and |
Eb | Bb | Bb/A | Gm | |
somewhere | far away a lonely bell was | ringin'; |
Eb | Cm7 | |
And it | echoed thru the | canyon |
Eb | F7 | Bb | Bbsus4 | Bb | |
like the | disappearing | dreams of yester | day. |
