Sunday Morning Coming Down - guitar chords and comments

Lyrics without distraction HERE

Sunday morning is often either a remind of a good-time party, a bad hangover or both. Kris caught me with this song early seventies, released with his debut album "Kristofferson" (Monument 1970). Ever since then, I've got this tune nailed to my playlist. It's cut by several important artists, but even Johnny Cash couldn't steal it. Kris never recorded a Cash song, but Johnny recorded a lot of Kristofferson's. Kristoffer Kristofferson (1936–2024) became an icon in songwriting, and this one is one of his best.
A
well I woke up Sunday morning
        D              E7                A
with no way to hold my head that did not hurt
A                                       F#m
and the beer I had for breakfast wasn't bad
                      E7
so I had one more for desert
  A                   A7
I fumbled through my closet
         D                                   A    ...F#m
found my clothes and found my cleanest dirty shirt
      Bm                 E7
and I washed my face and combed my hair
    Bm                                   E   ...E7
and stumbled down the stairs to meet the day

                    D
on a Sunday morning sidewalk
                        A    ...F#m
wishing Lord that I was stone
                             E     ...E7
cause there's something in a Sunday
                           A
that makes the body feel alone
              A7             D
and there's nothing short of dieing
                         A   ...F#m
half as lonesome as the sound
                  E      ...E7
of a sleepy city sidewalk
                      A
