Subject: Lyr Add: SUNDAY MORNING COMING DOWN
SUNDAY MORNING COMING DOWN (Sunday Morning Sidewalk)
 VERSE 1:
G
Well I woke up Sunday morning
C G
With no way to hold my head, that didn't hurt

And the beer I had for breakfast
Em D
Wasn't bad so I had one more for dessert

VERSE 2:
G
Then I fumble through my closet for
C G
My clothes and found my cleanest dirty shirt
Em
And I shaved my face and combed my hair
D
And stumbled down the stairs to meet the day

VERSE 3:
G
I'd smoked my brain the night before
C G
And cigarettes and songs that I've been pickin'
Em
But I lit my first and watched a small kid
D
Cussin' at a can that he was kicking

VERSE 4:
G
Then I crossed the empty street and caught
C G
The Sunday smell of someone fryin' chicken

And it took me back to somethin' that
Em D
I'd lost somehow somewhere along away

CHORUS:
C
On a Sunday mornin' sidewalks
G
Wishing Lord that I was stoned
D
'Cause there is something in a Sunday
G
That makes a body feel alone

C
And there's nothin' short of dyin'
G
Half as lonesome as the sound
D
On the sleepin' city sidewalks
G
Sunday mornin' comin' down

VERSE 5:
G
In the park, I saw a daddy with
C G
A laughing little girl who he was swingin'
Em
And I stopped beside a Sunday school
D
And listened to the song that they were singin'

VERSE 6:
G
Then I headed back for home and
C G
Somewhere far away a lonely bell was ringin'
Em
And it echoed through the canyon like
D
The disappearing dreams of yesterday.
