Come sundown
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.
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.
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
