in spite of its five star rating the other version has some errors , so i have tried to fix them .
to emulate the rhodes piano in the chorus try alternating the major triads with :
C * D * G *
E | – 0 – – 3 – – 3
B | – 3 – – 3 – – 1
G | – 0 – – 2 – – 0
D | – 2 – – 0 – – 0
A | – 3 – – x – – 2
E | – x – – x – – 3
capo on the second fret .
verse 1 :
G
well i woke up sunday morning
C G
with no way to hold my head , that didn’t hurt
and the beer i had for breakfast
Em D
wasn’t bad so i had one more for dessert
verse 2 :
G
than i fumble through my closet for
C G G/F# Em
my clothes and found my cleanest dirty shirt
C Am
and i shaved my face and combed my hair
C D G
and stumbled down the stairs to meet the day
verse 3 :
G
i’d smoked my brain the night before
C G
and cigarettes and songs that i’ve been pickin’
Em
but i lit my first and watched a small kid
D
cussin’ at a can that he was kicking
verse 4 :
G
then i crossed the empty street and caught
C G
the sunday smell of someone fryin’ chicken
C Am
and it took me back to somethin’ that
C D G
i’d lost somehow somewhere along the way
chorus :
/ C
on the sunday mornin’ sidewalks
G
wishing lord that i was stoned
D
’cause there is something in a sunday
G
that makes a body feel alone
C
and there’s nothin’ short of dyin’
G
half as lonesome as the sound
D
on the sleepin’ city sidewalks
G
sunday mornin’ comin’ down
verse 5 :
G
in the park i saw A Daddy with
C G
a laughing little girl who he was swingin’
and i stopped beside a sunday school
Em D
and listened to the song that they were singin’
verse 6 :
G
then i headed back for home and
C G G/F# Em
somewhere far away a lonely bell was ringin’
C Am
and it echoed thru the canyon like
C D G
the disappearing dreams of yesterday .

repeat the chords for the chorus while singing “doo doo doo . . . ” and fade out .
