Chris Christopherson hello Chris
This this first song for Johnny Cash
[G]
[C] [G] Woke up a Sunday morning
No [C] way to hold my hair hurt
[G] And the beer I had for breakfast wasn't bad
[Em] So I had one more [D] for dessert
[G] Then I fumbled through my closet [C] for my clothes and found my cleanest [G] dirty shirt
[Em] [C] And I washed my face and comb my hair
[Am] Stumbled down the stairs to meet the day
[D]
[G] I'd smoke my brain the night before
[C] Cigarettes and songs that I've [G] been picking
But I lit my first and washed a small [Em] deal
Cussing at a can that he [D] was kicking
[G] Then I crossed the empty street and [C] caught the Sunday smell of someone [G] frying chicken
[Em] [C] And it took me [Am] back to something [C] that I lost [D] somehow somewhere [G] long
on the Sunday [C] morning sidewalk
Wishing Lord that [G] I was strong
There's something [D] in a Sunday
Pays a bike [G] along
There ain't nothing [C] short of dying
Half as lonesome [G] as the sound
on the sleeping [D] city sidewalk
Sunday morning
[G] coming down
In the park, I saw daddy
[C] With a laughing little girl
[G] He was swinging
And I stopped beside a Sunday school
[Em] Listen to the song [D] they were singing
[G] Then I headed back for home [C] and somewhere far away a lonesome [G] bell was ringing
[Em] [C] And it echoed through the [Am] canyon like the disappearing dreams of [G] yesterday
on the Sunday [C] morning sidewalk
Wishing Lord that [G] I was strong
Or there's something [D] in a Sunday
Makes a bike
[G] along
There ain't nothing short [C] of dying
Half as lonesome as [G] the sound
on the sleeping city [D] sidewalk
Sunday morning
[G]
Sunday morning [C] sidewalk
Wishing Lord that [G] I was strong
There's something [D] in a Sunday
Makes a body
[G] along
There ain't nothing short of [C] dying
[C] Half as lonesome as the [G] sound
the sleeping city [D] sidewalk
Sunday morning [G] coming down
[G]
