Capo II
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
Well I woke up
Sunday mornin
g
with no way to
hold my head,
that didn't h
urt
and the beer I had for breakfast
wasn't bad so
I had one more
for dessert
[Verse 2]
Then I fumble
through my clo
set for
my clothes and
found my clea
nest dirty shi
rt
and I shaved m
y face and com
bed my hair
and stumbled d
own the stairs
to meet the d
ay
[Verse 3]
I'd smoked my
brain the nigh
t before
on cigarettes
and songs that
I've been pic
kin'
but I lit my first and watched a small kid
cussin' at a c
an that he was
kicking
[Verse 4]
Then I crossed
the empty str
eet and caught
the Sunday sme
ll of someone
fryin' chicken
and it took me
back to somet
hin' that
I'd lost someh
ow somewhere a
long the way
[Chorus]
On the Sunday
mornin' sidewa
lks
wishing Lord t
hat I was ston
ed
'cause there i
s something in
a Sunday
that makes a b
ody feel alone
And there's no
thin' short of
dyin'
half as loneso
me as the soun
d
on the sleepin
' city sidewal
ks
Sunday mornin'
comin' down
[Verse 5]
In the park I
saw a daddy wi
th
a laughing lit
tle girl who h
e was swingin'
and I stopped beside a Sunday school
and listened t
o the song tha
t they were si
ngin'
[Verse 6]
Then I headed
back for home
and
somewhere far
away a lonely
bell was ringi
n'
and it echoed
thru the canyo
n like
the disappeari
ng dreams of y
esterday.
[Chorus]
On the Sunday
mornin' sidewa
lks
wishing Lord t
hat I was ston
ed
'cause there i
s something in
a Sunday
that makes a b
ody feel alone
And there's no
thin' short of
dyin'
half as loneso
me as the soun
d
on the sleepin
' city sidewal
ks
Sunday mornin'
comin' down
