Mel O'Joe

written by Kris Kristopherson
Performed by Willie Nelson and Johnny Cash

Intro	D	2-Bars

	D
Well I w	oke up Sunday morning

	G	A	D
with no w	ay to hold my h	ead that didn't h	urt

	Bm
and the beer I had for breakfast wasn't b	ad

	A	A7	A6	A7
so I had one more for de	ssert

	D	G
then I f	umbled through my closet for my c	lothes

	D	Bm
and found my cleanest, dirty s	hirt

	G	A
then I w	ashed my face, and c	ombed my hair

	Em	A
and s	tumbled down the stairs to meet the d	ay

	D	D7
I'd s	moked my brain the n	ight before

	G	A	D
on c	igarettes and s	ongs I'd been p	icking

	Bm
but I lit my first and watched a small kid c	ussin'

	A	A7	A6	A7
at the can that he was k	icking

	D	D7
then I c	rossed the s	treet

	G	D	Bm
and caught the Sunday	smell of someone's frying c	hicken

	G	Em	G
and it t	ook me back to some-	thin that I l	ost someshow

	A	D
some	where along the w	ay

	G
on a Sunday morning s	idewalk

	D
wishing lord, that I was s	toned

	A
cause there's something in a S	unday

	D
that makes the body feel a	lone

	G
and there's nothing short of d	ying

	D
that's half as lonesome as the s	ound

	A
of the sleeping city s	idewalks

	D
and Sunday morning coming d	own

	D7
in the park I saw a d	addy

	G	A	D
with a l	aughing little g	irl that he was s	winging

	Bm
and I stopped beside a Sunday school and l	istened

	A	A7	A6	A7
to the songs that they were s	inging

	D	D7
then I h	eaded down the s	treet

	G	D	Bm
and somewhere f	ar away a lonely bell was ring -	ing

	G	Em
and it e	choed through the c	anyons

	G	A	D
like our dis	appearing d	reams of yester	day

	G
on a Sunday morning s	idewalk

	D
wishing lord, that I was s	toned

	A
cause there's something in a S	unday

	D
that makes the body feel a	lone

	G
and there's nothing short of d	ying

	D
that's half as lonesome as the s	ound

	A
of the sleeping city s	idewalks

	D
and Sunday morning coming d	own
