The chords were written right next to the lyrics, making it very hard to read indeed. I took the liberty of retyping it for any future users, but I'm not sure about the correctness of chord location. I just retyped what was already there. ;)
Key: A
A
Well, I woke up Sunday morning,
D E A
With no way to hold my head that didn't hurt,
D
And the beer I had for breakfast wasn't bad,
E A
So I had one more for dessert,
D
Then I fumbled in my closet through my clothes,
E A
And found my cleanest dirty shirt,
D E
Then I washed my face and combed my hair,
D E A
And stumbled down the stairs to meet the day,
I smoked my mind the night before,
D E A
With cigarettes and songs I'd been picking,
But I lit my first and watched a small kid,
D E A
Playing with a can that he was kicking,
Then I walked across the street and caught,
D E A
The Sunday smell of someone frying chicken,
D E
Lord it took me back to something that,
D E A
I lost somewhere, somehow along the way,
D
On a Sunday morning sidewalk,
A
I'm wishing Lord that I was stoned,
E
'Cause there's something in a Sunday,
A
That makes a body feel alone,
D
And there's nothing short of dying,
A
That’s half as lonesome as the sound,
E
Of the sleeping city sidewalk,
A
And Sunday morning coming down,
In the park I saw a daddy with a,
D E A
Laughing little girl that he was swinging,
And I stopped beside a Sunday school,
D E A
And listened to the songs that they were singing,
Then I headed down the street and somewhere,
D E A
Far away a lonely bell was ringing,
D E
And it echoed through the canyon,
D E A
Like disappearing dreams of yesterday,
D
On a Sunday morning sidewalk,
A
I'm wishing Lord that I was stoned,
E
'Cause there's something in a Sunday,
A
That makes a body feel alone,
D
And there's nothing short of dying,
A
That’s half as lonesome as the sound,
E
Of the sleeping city sidewalk,
A
And Sunday morning coming down.
