Mean Old Sun Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][G][D][Am]
[D][Am][G][D][Am]

[Verse 1]
Empty [Am]promises I've given
Hollow [G]heart beats in my [Am]chest
And every [D]word of sterling [Am]silver
Stirred but[G]terflies [D]beneath your bre[Am]ast

[Verse 2]
Still [Am]untouched by ties a'binding
[G]Going where the Gulf [Am]breeze blows
No ring of [D]gold [Am]around your finger
No ring of [G]brass [D]run through my nos[Am]e

[Verse 3]
[G]Headlong for the wal[Am]l now, honey
[G]Still coming up [Am]like a rose
Dead still in the [C]garden
Waiting for the re[Am]veille
The dawn [G]is yet to [Am]dry the dew
From [G]off my Sunday [Am]clothes
That mean old sun better [C]rise up soon
If it's [G]ever gonna [D]set on [Am]me

[Verse 4]
Hear [Am]the song she sang in darkness
Cheerful, [G]fair and free and [Am]fine
"You're [D]the one", [Am]she softly whispers
My [G]canary [D]in the min[Am]e

[Verse 5]
[G]Headlong for the wal[Am]l now, honey
[G]Still coming [C]up like a [Am]rose
Dead still in the [C]garden
[G]Waiting for the re[Am]veille
The [G]dawn is yet [Am]to dry the dew
From off [G]my Sunday [Am]clothes
That mean old sun better [C]rise up soon
If it's [G]ever gonna [D]set on [Am]me

[Interlude 1]
[Am][G][Am][G][C][Am]
[C][G][Am][G][Am][G][Am]
[C][G][D][Am][G][D][Am]

[Verse 6]
I met a [Am]man, pale gray with wisdom
Told me [G]fate will come col[Am]lect
Hard tempered [D]steel bites at my [Am]ankles
Soft cotton [G]rove [D]burns at my nec[Am]k

[Verse 7]
[G]Headlong for the wal[Am]l now, honey
[G]Still coming up [Am]like a rose
Dead still in the [C]garden
Waiting for the [Am]re veille
And the [G]dawn is yet [Am]to dry the dew
From off [G]my Sunday [Am]clothes
That mean old sun better [C]rise up soon
If it's ever gonna [D]set on [Am]me
That mean old sun better [C]rise up soon
If it's [G]ever gonna [D]set on [Am]me
