Johnny Cash – Sunday Morning Coming Down (Guitar)

G
Well, I woke up Sunday morning

        C              D                G
with no way to hold my head that didn't hurt

        G                               Em
and the beer I had for breakfast wasn't bad

                         D
so I had one more for dessert

       G                  G7                C
then I fumbled in my closet through my clothes

                             G      Em
and found my cleanest, dirty shirt

       C                   D
then I washed my face, and combed my hair

C                     D
and stumbled down the stairs to meet the day

G                      G7
I'd smoked my mind the night before

C                   D              G
with cigarettes and songs I'd been picking

      G                                    Em
but I lit my first and watched a small kid

                               D
playing with a can that he was kicking

       G                 G7
then I walked across the street

               C                                G       Em
and caught the Sunday smell of someone's frying chicken

            C                   D            Am
and Lord it took me back to somethin' that I lost somewhere

D                 G
somehow along the way

                    C
on a Sunday morning sidewalk

                             G
I'm wishing Lord, that I was stoned

                             D
cause there's something in a Sunday

                         G
that makes the body feel alone

                             C
and there's nothing short of dying

                               G
that's half as lonesome as the sound

                     D
of the sleeping city sidewalks

                          G
and Sunday morning coming down

       G            G7
in the park I saw a daddy

       C               D                G
with a laughing little girl that he was swinging

      G
and I stopped beside a Sunday school

Em                                  D
and listened to the songs they were singing

       G               G7
then I headed down the street

              C                              G    Em
and somewhere far away a lonely bell was ringing

       C                  D
and it echoed through the canyons

         Am           D               G
like our disappearing dreams of yesterday

                    C
on a Sunday morning sidewalk

                             G
I'm wishing Lord, that I was stoned

                             D
cause there's something in a Sunday

                         G
that makes the body feel alone

                             C
and there's nothing short of dying

                               G
that's half as lonesome as the sound

                     D
of the sleeping city sidewalks

                          G
and Sunday morning coming down
