Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
 well  i woke up sunday mornin
with  no way to hold my head
 that didnt hurt
 and the beer i had for breakfast wasnt
bad  so i had one more for dessert
and  i fumbled through my closet
for  my clothes
 and found my cleanest dirty shirt
and  i shaved my face
 and combed my hair
and  stumbled down the stairs
 to meet the day
 i'd smoked my brain the night before
 cigarettes and songs
 that i'd been pickin
 but i lit my first and watched a small kid
 cussin out a can he was kickin
 then i crossed the empty streets and
 cought the sunday smell
 of someone fryin chicken
 and it took me back to something
 that i'd lost somehow
 somewhere along the way
 on the sunday mornin sidewalk
 wishin lord that i was stoned
 cause theres somethin in a sunday
 that makes the body feel alone
 and  theres nothin short of dyin
 half as lonesome as the sound
 on the sleepin city sidewalk
 sunday mornin comin down
 in the park i saw a daddy
 with a laughin little girl
 he was swingin
 and i stopped beside
 the sunday school
 and listened to the song
 that they were singin
 then i headed back for home
 and somewhere far away
 a lonely bell was ringing
 and it echoed through the
 canyon like
 the disappearing dreams
 of yesterday
 on the sunday mornin sidewalk
 wishin lord that i was stoned
 cause theres somethin in a sunday
 that makes the body feel alone
 and theres nothin short of dyin
 half as lonesome as a sound
 on the sleepin city sidewalk
 sunday mornin comin down

 hope you enjoy playing it...
 it is a bit different to the johnny cash and kris kristophersons versions,
 but its really good fun to play, and its in a good key to sing along to.
