Biography:
Catherine Tift Merritt (born January 8, 1975, in Houston, Texas, but moved to Raleigh, North Carolina soon after) is a critically acclaimed American singer-songwriter, musician. She is currently based in New York.
Merritt's father taught her guitar chords and Percy Sledge songs. She began her professional career in 1998 with her band The Carbines playing small clubs. In her early twenties, though Tift had gigged by herself, she decided she was not very good at music and better suited for writing short stories.

Tift Merritt - Sunday
CAPO: 2nd Fret
INTRO: C Dm F (2x)
C Dm F
I'm gonna have a good cry over nothing
C Dm F
But a handful of cigarettes
C Dm F
I'm gonna leave the windows open
C Dm F
When I feel like getting dressed
Am G F E
I'm gonna think hard about leaving
E7 F
See if the afternoon can tell
C Am F
I'm gonna let him lie there sleeping
C Dm F Dm
Then I'm gonna love him well
CHORUS
G Dm
One morning gonna wake up
G F C
Far from this town where my body lies
F C
But Sunday is nobody's business
F G
Sunday is nobody's business
F
Tell all of the neighbours
G
Take back all your favours
Dm F
And look away, Lord
C Dm F C
Take down your eyes
Dm F C
The ice trays all are empty
Dm F
There's nothing here to eat at all
C Dm F
I can't even find a pack of matches
C Dm F
I left the oven on all night
Am G F E
My mother's 'cross town, I'm going to see her
E7 F
My grandma's up there on the hill
C Am F C
She's drinking sherry with all the angels
Dm F Dm
Saving a little bit until...
CHORUS
G Dm
That morning when I wake up
G F C
Far from this town where my body lies
F C
But Sunday is nobody's business
F G
Sunday is nobody's business
F
Tell all of the neighbours
G
Take back all your favours
Dm F
And look away, Lord
C Dm F G
Take down your eyes
BRIDGE:
F
I'm gonna spend it like I got it
G
Take it like I want it
C F G
Love like no one loves me___ at all
F G
'Cause in the place where I come from, you have to be careful
C
When everything is certain
E7
When everything is fixed
F
When everything is fine
G
When everything is fine
C Dm F
I'm gonna buy some flowers at the grocery
C Dm F
With my last five dollars again
C Dm F
I don't care if lonely is coming
C Dm F Am
I've been practicing
G F E
Tonight in this window
E7 F C
The moon is gonna rise__
Am F C
If you wanna give me something, give me something, but today
Dm F C
Don't give me no__ surprise (give me no surprise)
Dm F C Dm F C
Don't give me no surprise (no surprise)
