Mel O'Joe

Performed by Willie Nelson and Johnny Cash

Intro	B	2-Bars

	B
Well I w	oke up Sunday morning

	E	F#	B
with no w	ay to hold my h	ead that didn't h	urt

	G#m
and the beer I had for breakfast wasn't b	ad

	F#	F#7	F#6	F#7
so I had one more for de	ssert

	B	E
then I f	umbled through my closet for my c	lothes

	B	G#m
and found my cleanest, dirty s	hirt

	E	F#
then I w	ashed my face, and c	ombed my hair

	C#m	F#
and s	tumbled down the stairs to meet the d	ay

	B	B7
I'd s	moked my brain the n	ight before

	E	F#	B
on c	igarettes and s	ongs I'd been p	icking

	G#m
but I lit my first and watched a small kid c	ussin'

	F#	F#7	F#6	F#7
at the can that he was k	icking

	B	B7
then I c	rossed the s	treet

	E	B	G#m
and caught the Sunday	smell of someone's frying c	hicken

	E	C#m	E
and it t	ook me back to some-	thing that I l	ost someshow

	F#	B
some	where along the w	ay

	E
on a Sunday morning s	idewalk

	B
wishing lord, that I was s	toned

	F#
cause there's something in a S	unday

	B
that makes the body feel a	lone

	E
and there's nothing short of d	ying

	B
that's half as lonesome as the s	ound

	F#
of the sleeping city s	idewalks

	B
and Sunday morning coming d	own

	B7
in the park I saw a d	addy

	E	F#	B
with a l	aughing little g	irl that he was s	winging

	G#m
and I stopped beside a Sunday school and l	istened

	F#	F#7	F#6	F#7
to the songs that they were s	inging

	B	B7
then I h	eaded down the s	treet

	E	B	G#m
and somewhere f	ar away a lonely bell was ring -	ing

	E	C#m
and it e	choed through the c	anyons

	E	F#	B
like our dis	appearing d	reams of yester	day

	E
on a Sunday morning s	idewalk

	B
wishing lord, that I was s	toned

	F#
cause there's something in a S	unday

	B
that makes the body feel a	lone

	E
and there's nothing short of d	ying

	B
that's half as lonesome as the s	ound

	F#
of the sleeping city s	idewalks

	B
and Sunday morning coming d	own
