Sundown
——-
by Gordon Lightfoot
Transcribed by Mark Galassi ([email protected]). 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.

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.
