Song: Sundown
BY:   Gordon Lightfoot
 
[intro:] 8 x [ F# ]
 
[verse: 1]
F#
I can see her lying back in her satin dress
     C#7                         F#
In a room where you do what you don't confess
              B
Sundown you better take care
      E                           F#
If I find you've been creeping  round my back stairs

               B
(Sundown you better take care)
 Sundown you better take care
       E                           F#
(If I find you've been creeping  round my back stairs)
 If I find you've been creeping  round my back stairs

2 x [ F# ] 

[verse: 2]
F#
She's being looking like a queen in a sailor's dream
         C#7                        F#
And she don't always say what she really means
             B
Sometimes I think it's a shame
        E                            F#
When I get feeling better when I'm feeling no pain 

              B
(Sometimes I think it's a shame)
 Sometimes I think it's a shame
         E                            F#
(When I get feeling better when I'm feeling no pain)
 When I get feeling better when I'm feeling no pain

 2 x [ F# ]

[verse: 3] 
F#    
I can picture every move that a man could make
         C#7                        F#
Getting lost in her loving is your first mistake
               B
(Sundown you better take care)
 Sundown you better take care
     E                            F#
(If I find you've been creeping  round my back stairs)
 If I find you've been creeping  round my back stairs

              B
(Sometimes I think it's a sin)
 Sometimes I think it's a sin
         E                              F#
(When I feel like I'm winning when I'm losing again)
 When I feel like I'm winning when I'm losing again
 
 
[solo: guitar]  8-16 x [ F# ]
 
 
[verse: 4]
F#
I can see her looking fast in her faded jeans
         C#7                        F#
She's a hard loving woman, got me feeling mean 
              B
(Sometimes I think it's a shame)
 Sometimes I think it's a shame
         E                            F#
(When I get feeling better when I'm feeling no pain)
 When I get feeling better when I'm feeling no pain

               B
(Sundown you better take care)
 Sundown you better take care
       E                           F#
(If I find you've been creeping  round my back stairs)
 If I find you've been creeping  round my back stairs
               B
(Sundown you better take care)
 Sundown you better take care
       E                           F#
(If I find you've been creeping  round my back stairs)
 If I find you've been creeping  round my back stairs

 2  x [ F# ] 

              B
(Sometimes I think it's a sin)
 Sometimes I think it's a sin
         E                              F#
(When I feel like I'm winning when I'm losing again)
 When I feel like I'm winning when I'm losing again
