Sunday Morning Coming Down Chords & Lyrics by Kris Kristofferson
Sunday Morning Coming Down
guitar chords lyrics
In spite of its five star rating the other version has some errors, so I have tried to fix them.
To emulate the Rhodes piano in the chorus try alternating the major triads with:
C* D* G*
e|-0--3--3
B|-3--3--1
G|-0--2--0
D|-2--0--0
A|-3--x--2
E|-x--x--3
Capo on the second fret.
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
Than I fumble through my closet for
C G G/F# Em
my clothes and found my cleanest dirty shirt
C Am
and I shaved my face and combed my hair
C D G
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
C Am
and it took me back to somethin' that
C D G
I'd lost somehow somewhere along the way
Chorus:
/ C
On the 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'
and I stopped beside a sunday school
Em D
and listened to the song that they were singin'
Verse 6:
G
Then I headed back for home and
C G G/F# Em
somewhere far away a lonely bell was ringin'
C Am
and it echoed thru the canyon like
C D G
the disappearing dreams of yesterday.
Chorus:
/ C
On the 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
Repeat the chords for the chorus while singing "doo doo doo..." and fade out.
