Come sundown    (intro) 

 

                        D            - G              D

1. I heard the front door      closing softly,

                          - A                  D

    as I wakened       from my sleep.

                                  - G             D

    with the last touch        of her lips, Lord,

                          - A              D

    like a whisper     on my cheek.

               G                          D  

    And I cursed the sun for risin',

                                                              A

    'cause the worst, Lord, was yet to come,

                            D        - G                  D

    'cause this morning,      she's just leavin' me,

                                     - A                D     D - G - D - A - D

    but come sundown,     she'll be gone.

 

                  D        - G             D

2. See the lipstick      on the pillow,

                         - A                       D  

    that I placed       beneath her head,

                                    - G               D

    and the soft sheets      still feel warm, Lord,

                           - A                D

    where she lay     upon my bed.

               G                         D

    And it hurts to know it's over,

                                                         A

    'cause the hurt, Lord, has just begun,

                         D         - G                  D

    'cause this morning,      she's just leavin' me,

                                   - A                 D

    but come sundown,     she'll be gone.
