                             Sundown
                             -------
                      by Gordon Lightfoot

Transcribed by Mark Galassi (rosalia@max.physics.sunysb.edu).  Gordon
plays this in F# (probably in E with capo on 2nd fret) on the Gord's
Gold album.  I saw him do it in concert in A with capo on first fret.
I guess his voice has changed since he recorded it.  He plays it on a
twelve string guitar.


E
I can see her lyin' back in her satin dress
     B7                         E
In a room where you do what you don't confess

    E              A
R1. Sundown, you'd better take care
         D                                E
    If I find you've been creeping 'round my back stairs [twice]

She's been looking like a queen in a sailor's dream
And she don't always say what she really means

R2. Sometimes I think it's a shame
    When I get feeling better when I'm feelin' no pain [twice]

I can picture every move that a man could make
Getting lost in your lover is the first mistake

R1.

R3. Sometimes I think it's a sin
    When I feel like I'm winning when I'm loosing again

I can see her looking fast in her faded jeans
She's a hard lovin' woman got me feelin' mean

R2. R1. R1. R3.
