Johnny Cash — Sunday Morning Coming Down (ver 5) Chords
Sunday morning coming down
This song is originally played in: A,
but johnny often put a capo on 1st fret And played C instead.
you can see this in many of his appearances live.
So here is the tab that way!
Capo:1st fret
C
Well, I woke up Sunday morning
F G C
With no way to hold my head that didn't hurt.
Am
And the beer I had for breakfast wasn't bad,
G
So I had one more for dessert.
C F
Then I fumbled in my closet through my clothes
C Am
And found my cleanest dirty shirt.
F G
Then I washed my face and combed my hair
And stumbled down the stairs to meet the day.
C
I'd smoked my mind the night before
F G C
With cigarettes and songs I'd been picking.
Am
But I lit my first and watched a small kid
G
Playing with a can that he was kicking.
C
Then I walked across the street
F C Am
And caught the Sunday smell of someone frying chicken.
F G
And Lord, it took me back to something that I'd lost
C
Somewhere, somehow along the way.
F
On a Sunday morning sidewalk,
C
I'm wishing, Lord, that I was stoned.
G
'Cause there's something in a Sunday
C
That makes a body feel alone.
F
And there's nothing short a' dying
C
That's half as lonesome as the sound
G
Of the sleeping city sidewalk
C
And Sunday morning coming down.
In the park I saw a daddy
With a laughing little girl that he was swinging.
And I stopped beside a Sunday school
And listened to the songs they were singing.
Then I headed down the street,
And somewhere far away a lonely bell was ringing,
And it echoed through the canyon
Like the disappearing dreams of yesterday.
On a Sunday morning sidewalk,
I'm wishing, Lord, that I was stoned.
'Cause there's something in a Sunday
That makes a body feel alone.
And there's nothing short a' dying
That's half as lonesome as the sound
Of the sleeping city sidewalk
And Sunday morning coming down.
