that evening sun Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][A][G][A][G][A][D]

[Verse 1]
In the [D]alley dogs are barking,
chickens crowing down the lane
And I feel just like that rooster and
his [A]mournful old refrain
With [G]sun down on my [A]shoulders
just a [G]hangin' round the [A]yard
I'll be [G]leaving here tomor[A]row,

[Interlude 1]
gonna catch an empty car
[D][G][A][G][A][D]

[Verse 2]
There's a [D]thousand constellations
in that brilliant beaming sky
But the earth is just one station
[A]in that lonesome starry line
And there's a [G]distant whistle blow[A]ing
down a [G]rusty stretch of [A]track
And I'm [G]just an empty [A]coal car on
that train not coming [D]back

[Verse 3]
[D]-Chorus-
But I [G]hate to see that
evening sun [D]go down
When it's lonesome coming
down on my [A]trail
An[G]d I know this train will take
me where [D]I'm bound
But I [A]hate to see that evening sun

[Interlude 2]
go down
[D][G][Asus4][A][G][A][D]

[Verse 4]
The [D]sidewalks have their
streetlamps the city has her glow
The poor boy has the moonlight
[A]walking in his shadow
But [G]the nighttime can't be trus
[A]ted to re[G]turn the morning sun
[A]My eye[G]s have not adj[A]usted to this
black face I [D]got [G]on[D]

[Interlude 3]
-Chorus-
[D][A][G][D][A]
[D][G][D]
[A][G][D][A]
[D]

[Verse 5]
Don't [D]the nighttime make you
lonesome for that early morning sun
For the light upon that [A]engine
reaching towards the dawn
You can [G]spend your whole life ra
[A]cing down [G]rusty railroad [A]line
It's the set[G]ting sun you're [A]chasing in
that dark and rolling [D]sky[G][D]

[Outro 1]
-Chorus-
[D][A][G][D][A]
[D][A][D][G]
[A][G][A][D]
