David Allan Coe - Sunday Mornin' Comin' Down
Capo 1
AWell, I woke up Sunday mornin'
With no Dway to hold my Ehead that didn't Ahurt
And the beer I had for breakfast wasn't bF#mad
So I had one more for desEert
Then I Afumbled in my closet through my cDlothes
And found my cleanest dirty Ashirt
Then I Dshaved my face and Ecombed my hair
And Dstumbled down the Estairs to meet the Aday.
AI?d smoked my mind the night before
With Dcigarettes and Esongs I'd been Apickin'
So I lit my first and watched a small kid
F#mCussin' at can that he was Ekickin'
Then I Acrossed the street and caught
The DSunday smell of someone fryin' Achicken
And it Dtook me back to Esomething that
I Dlost somewhere, someEhow along the Away.
[Chorus]
On a Sunday mornin' DsidewalkE  
Wishin' Lord that I was Astoned
Cause there's something in a ESunday
That makes a body feel Aalone.
And there's nothin' short of Ddyin'E  
Half as lonesome as the Asound
Of the sleepin' city Esidewalk
Sunday Mornin' Comin' DAown.
AIn the park I saw a daddy with a
DLaughin' little Egirl that he was Aswingin'
And I stopped beside a Sunday school
And F#mlistened to the songs that they were sEingin'
Then I Aheaded down the street and somewhere
DFar away a lonely bell was Aringin'
And it Dechoed through the Ecanyon
Like a Ddisappearing Edreams of yesterAday.

David Allan Coe - Sunday Mornin' Comin' Down

Capo 1

Well, I woke up Sunday mornin'

D E A

With no way to hold my head that didn't hurt

F#m

And the beer I had for breakfast wasn't bad

So I had one more for desert

A D

Then I fumbled in my closet through my clothes

And found my cleanest dirty shirt

D E

Then I shaved my face and combed my hair

D E A

And stumbled down the stairs to meet the day.

I?d smoked my mind the night before

D E A

With cigarettes and songs I'd been pickin'

So I lit my first and watched a small kid

F#m E

Cussin' at can that he was kickin'

Then I crossed the street and caught

D A

The Sunday smell of someone fryin' chicken

D E

And it took me back to something that

D E A

I lost somewhere, somehow along the way.

[Chorus]

D E

On a Sunday mornin' sidewalk

Wishin' Lord that I was stoned

Cause there's something in a Sunday

That makes a body feel alone.

D E

And there's nothin' short of dyin'

Half as lonesome as the sound

Of the sleepin' city sidewalk

Sunday Mornin' Comin' Down.

In the park I saw a daddy with a

D E A

Laughin' little girl that he was swingin'

And I stopped beside a Sunday school

F#m E

And listened to the songs that they were singin'

Then I headed down the street and somewhere

D A

Far away a lonely bell was ringin'

D E

And it echoed through the canyon

D E A

Like a disappearing dreams of yesterday.
