Guitar chords Sunday Morning Coming Down

Sunday Morning Coming Down was written by Kris Kristofferson and talks about a mans experience of loneliness and reflection on a Sunday morning, after a night of excess. The inspiration came from Kristoffersons own experiences and his observation of life and individuals difficulties in connecting with themselves and with others.

Key:  G
G
 
Well I woke up Sunday morning
        
C
              
D
                
G
 
with no way to hold my head that didn't hurt
                                        
Em
 
and the beer I had for breakfast wasn't bad
                          
D
 
so I had one more for des-sert
       
G
                  
G7
                
C
 
then I fumbled in my closet through my clothes
                            
G
      
Em
 
and found my cleanest, dirty shirt
       
C
                   
D
 
then I washed my face, and combed my hair
C
                     
D
 
and stumbled down the stairs to meet the day

G
                      
G7
 
I'd smoked my mind the night before
C
                   
D
              
G
 
with cigarettes and songs I'd been picking
                                          
Em
 
but I lit my first and watched a small kid   playing
                         
D
 
with the can that he was kicking
       
G
                 
G7
 
then I walked across the street
               
C
                                
G
       
Em
 
and caught the Sunday smell of someone's frying chicken
            
C
                    
D
           
Am
 
and lord it took me back to some-thin that I lost somewhere
D
                 
G
 
somehow along the way

                    
C
 
on a Sunday morning sidewalk
                             
G
 
I'm wishing lord, that I was stoned
                             
D
 
cause there's something in a Sunday
                         
G
 
that makes the body feel alone
                             
C
 
and there's nothing short of dying
                               
G
 
that's half as lonesome as the sound
                     
D
 
of the sleeping city sidewalks
                          
G
 
and Sunday morning coming down

                    
G7
 
in the park I saw a daddy
       
C
               
D
                
G
 
with a laughing little girl that he was swinging

    
Em
                                   
D
 
and listened to the songs that they were singing
       
G
               
G7
 
then I headed down the street
              
C
                                 
G
    
Em
 
and somewhere far away a lonely bell was ring - ing
       
C
                  
D
 
and it echoed through the canyons
         
Am
           
D
                  
G
 
like our disappearing dreams of yester - day

                    
C
 
on a Sunday morning sidewalk
                             
G
 
I'm wishing lord, that I was stoned
                             
D
 
cause there's something in a Sunday
                         
G
 
that makes the body feel alone
                             
C
 
and there's nothing short of dying
                               
G
 
that's half as lonesome as the sound
                     
D
 
of the sleeping city sidewalks
                          
G
 
and Sunday morning coming down
