1. 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 for my clothes
C Am
and found my cleanest dirty shirt
F G
then I washed my face and combed my hair
and stumbled the stairs to meet the day
2. I'd smoked my mind the night before
with cigarettes and songs I'd been picking
but I lit my first and watched a small kid
playing with a can that he was kicking
then I walked across the street
and caught the Sunday smell of someone frying chicken
and Lord it took me back to something
that I'd lost somewhere somehow along the way
F
R: On the Sunday morning sidewalk
C
I'm wishing Lord that I was stoned
G
'cause there's is something in a Sunday
C
that makes a body feel alone
F
and there's nothing short of dying
C
that's half as lonesome as the sound
G
of the sleeping city sidewalk
C
and Sunday morning coming down
3. 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.
R: On the Sunday morning sidewalks...
