Song: Sunday Morning Comin' Down Artist: Waylon Jennings Album: The Taker/Tulsa (1971) [Intro] C [Verse]
C
Well, I woke up Sunday morning

        F                               C
With no way to hold my head that didn't hurt

        C                                   Am
And the beer I had for breakfast, it wasn't bad

                      G
So I had one more for dessert

       C                             F
Then I fumbled through closet for my clothes

                            C       Am
And found my cleanest dirty shirt

F
Washed my face and combed my hair

                                     G
Stumbled down the stairs to meet the day
[Verse]
    C
I'd smoked my brain the night before

     F                             C
With cigarettes and songs I'd been pickin'

C                                    Am
Lit my first and stood and watched a small kid

                        G
Cuss a can that he were kicking

C
Started across the street

               F                              C        Am
And caught the Sunday smell of someone fryin' chicken

       F
And it brought me back to something that I'd lost

               G             C
Somewhere, somehow along the way
[Chorus]
                      F
On the Sunday morning sidewalk

                          C
Wishing, Lord, that I was stoned

                              G
'Cause there's something in a Sunday

                  C
Makes a body feel alone

                             F
And there's nothin' short of dyin'

                        C
Half as lonesome as the sound

                     G
On the sleeping city sidewalks

                      C      G   C
Sunday morning coming down
[Verse]
       C
In the park I saw a daddy

       F                                C
With a laughin' little girl that he was swinging

      C
And I stopped beside a Sunday school

    Am                                  G
And listened to the song that they were singing

C
Started back for home

              F                          C        AM
And somewhere far away a lonely bell was ringing

       F
And it echoed through the canyons

                      G         C
Like the disappearing dreams of yesterday
[Chorus]
                      F
On the Sunday morning sidewalk

                          C
Wishing, Lord, that I was stoned

                              G
'Cause there's something in a Sunday

                  C
Makes a body feel alone

                             F
And there's nothin' short of dyin'

                        C
Half as lonesome as the sound

                     G
On the sleeping city sidewalks

                      C      G   C
Sunday morning coming down
[Outro]
                     G
On the sleepin' city sidewalks

                      C     G   C
Sunday morning coming down
