[C]
Well, I woke up Sunday morning [F] with no way to hold my head, [C] but it didn't hurt.
And the beer I had for [Em] breakfast [Am] wasn't bad, so I had one more [G] for dessert.
[C] [G]
[C] Then I fumbled through my closet [F] for my clothes and found my [C] cleanest dirty shirt.
[Am]
[F] And I shaved my face, combed my [Dm] hair, stumbled down the stair to [G] meet the day.
[C]
[G] [C] Well, I smoked my brain the night [F] before with cigarettes and songs that I'd [C] been a-pickin'.
But I lit my first and watched a small [Am] kid cussin' at a can that [G] he was kickin'.
[C]
[G] [C] Then I crossed the empty street [F] and caught the Sunday smell of someone [C] frying chicken.
[Am] [F] And it took me back [Dm] to something [F] that I'd lost [G] somehow somewhere [C] along the way.
On the [Bb] Sunday [F] morning sidewalk, wishing for [C] our storm.
[Em]
[Am] [C] Cause there's something [G] in a Sunday [F] that [G] makes the body [C] feel alone.
[Am] And there's nothing [F] sure to die in, half as [C] lonesome as the [Em] sound.
[Am] [C] On a sleepy [G] city sidewalk, Sunday morning [C] coming down.
[F] [E] [C] In the park I saw a daddy [F] with a laughing little girl that [C] he was swinging.
And I stopped beside the Sunday [Am] school and listened to the song that [G] they were singing.
And I heard the music,
[Em] rain [G] and embers.
[C] Then I headed back for home and [F] somewhere far away a lonely [C] bell was ringing.
[F] And it echoed [Dm] through the canyon [F] like the [G] disappearing dreams [C] of yesterday.
On the Sunday [F] morning sidewalk, wishing for our [C] storm.
Cause there's something [G] in a Sunday
[C] that [G] makes the body [C] feel alone.
[Am] And there's nothing [F] sure to die in, half as lonesome [C] as the [Em] sound.
[Am] [C] On a sleepy [G] city sidewalk, Sunday morning [C] coming down.
