In spite of its five star rating the other version has some errors, so I have tried to fix them.
To emulate the Rhodes piano in the chorus try alternating the major triads with:
C D G
e|-0--3--3
B|-3--3--1
G|-0--2--0
D|-2--0--0
A|-3--x--2
E|-x--x--3
Capo on the second fret.
Verse 1:
Well I [G]woke up Sunday morning
with no [C]way to hold my head, that didn't [G]hurt
and the beer I had for breakfast
wasn't [Em]bad so I had one more for des[D]sert
Verse 2:
Than I [G]fumble through my closet for
my [C]clothes and found my cleanest dirty [G]shirt[G/F#][Em]
and I [C]shaved my face and [Am]combed my hair
and [C]stumbled down the [D]stairs to meet the [G]day
Verse 3:
I'd smo[G]ked my brain the night before
and c[C]igarettes and songs that I've been [G]pickin'
but I lit my first and watched [Em]a small kid
cussin' at a can that he was [D]kicking
Verse 4:
Then I [G]crossed the empty street and caught
the [C]sunday smell of someone fryin' [G]chicken
and it [C]took me back to [Am]somethin' that
I'd [C]lost somehow [D]somewhere along the [G]way

Chorus:
O[/]n the Sunday mornin' side[C]walks
wishing Lord that I was [G]stoned
'cause there is something in a [D]Sunday
that makes a body feel [G]alone
And there's nothin' short of [C]dyin'
half as lonesome as the [G]sound
on the sleepin' city [D]sidewalks
Sunday mornin' comin' [G]down
Verse 5:
In the [G]park I saw a daddy with
a [C]laughing little girl who he was [G]swingin'
and I stopped beside a sunday school
and [Em]listened to the song that they were [D]singin'
Verse 6:
Then I [G]headed back for home and
somewhere [C]far away a lonely bell was [G]ringin'[G/F#][Em]
and it [C]echoed thru the [Am]canyon like
the [C]disappearing [D]dreams of yester[G]day.
Chorus:

Repeat the chords for the chorus while singing "doo doo doo..." and fade out.
