Four years of hard work!

This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!

I believe Willie plays the Bb on the 6th fret. I believe this is pretty close, corrections welcomed.

[Intro]
C Bb F

[Chorus]
C F
On the Sunday mornin' sidewalks
C
wishing Lord that I was stoned
G
'cause there is something in a Sunday
C
that makes a body feel alone
F
And there's nothin' short of dyin'
C Am
half as lonesome as the sound
Dm Em F
of the sleepy city sidewalk
G C Bb Am F G C
Sunday mornin' comin' down

[Verse]
C
Well I woke up Sunday morning
F G C
with no way to hold my head, that didn't hurt
and the beer I had for breakfast
Am G Em G
wasn't bad so I had one more for dessert

[Verse 2]
C
Than I fumble through my closet for
F C Am
my clothes and found my cleanest dirty shirt
Dm Em
and I shaved my face and combed my hair
F G
and stumbled down the stairs to meet the day

[Verse 3]
C
Well I'd smoked my brain the night before
F G C
and cigarettes and songs that I've been pickin'

but I lit my first and watched a small kid
Am G Em G
cussin' at a can that he was kicking

[Verse 4]
C
Then I crossed the empty street and caught
F C Am
the sunday smell of someone fryin' chicken
Dm Em
and it took me back to somethin' that
F G C Bb
I'd lost somehow somewhere along the way

[Chorus]
C F
On a Sunday mornin' sidewalks
C
wishing Lord that I was stoned
G
'cause there is something in a Sunday
C
that makes a body feel alone
F
And there's nothin' short of dyin'
C Am
half as lonesome as the sound
Dm Em F
of the sleepy city sidewalk
G C Bb Am F G C
Sunday mornin' comin' down

[Solo]
F G C Am G Em G C F C A D E F G

[Verse 5]
C F
In the park I saw a daddy with
G C
a laughing little girl who he was swingin'
and I stopped beside a sunday school
Am G Em G
and listened to the song that they were singin'

[Verse 6]
C
Then I headed back for home and
F C Am
somewhere far away a lonely bell was ringin'
Dm Em F
and it echoed thru the canyon like
F G C Bb
the disappearing dreams of yesterday.

[Chorus]
F
On the Sunday mornin' sidewalks
C
wishing Lord that I was stoned
G
'cause there is something in a Sunday
C
that makes a body feel alone
F
And there's nothin' short of dyin'
C Am
half as lonesome as the sound
Dm Em F
of the sleepy city sidewalk
G C Bb
Sunday mornin' comin' down

[Outro]
F G C Bb
Coming Down Coming Down
F G C
Coming Down
