            Sundown
Gordon Lightfoot

Capo II

[Intro]
| E   | E   | E   | E   | x2
(E  E7 on upstroke if you listen to the recording, you'll get the idea!)

[Verse 1]
      E
I can see her lyin' back in her satin dress
     B7                       E
In a room where ya do what ya don't confess

[Chorus]
E             A
   Sundown ya better take care
     D                                E
If I find you've been creepin' 'round my back stairs
E             A
   Sundown ya better take care
     D                                E
If I find you've been creepin' 'round my back stairs

E

[Verse 2]
           E
She's been lookin' like a queen in a sailor's dream
        B7                        E
And she don't always say what she really means

[Chorus]
E              A
   Sometimes I think it's a shame
       D                           E
When I get feelin' better when I'm feelin' no pain
E              A
   Sometimes I think it's a shame
       D                           E
When I get feelin' better when I'm feelin' no pain

[Instrumental]
| E   | E   | E

[Verse 3]
      E
I can picture every move that a man could make
        B7                         E
Getting lost in her lovin' is your first mistake

[Chorus]
E             A
   Sundown ya better take care
     D                                E
If I find you've been creepin' 'round my back stairs
E              A
   Sometimes I think it's a sin
       D                              E
When I feel like I'm winnin' when I'm losin' again

[Instrumental]
| E   | E   | E   | E   | x3
| E   | E   | E

[Verse 4]
      E
I can see her lookin' fast in her faded jeans
        B7                        E
She's a hard lovin' woman, got me feelin' mean

[Chorus]
E              A
   Sometimes I think it's a shame
       D                           E
When I get feelin' better when I'm feelin' no pain
E             A
   Sundown ya better take care
     D                                E
If I find you've been creepin' 'round my back stairs
E             A
   Sundown ya better take care
     D                                E
If I find you've been creepin' 'round my back stairs

E

E              A
   Sometimes I think it's a sin
       D                              E
When I feel like I'm winnin' when I'm losin' again

[Outro]
| E   | E   | E   | E   | x2
| E   | E   | E
(fade out)
