Intro:  G   C9 (x2) 
 
 
Verse 1: 
G 
Jimmy was waitin' on Shelby Jean 
        C 
In the parking lot at the Dairy Queen 
G 
He knew she's gonna be there soon 
               C 
Then they'll blow this town like a cheap balloon 
G 
She came in cryin' this morning at the store 
        C 
Said I swear Jimmy, I just can't take no more 
G 
So he quit his job and drew his pay 
          C 
Now he's helpin' Shelby make her getaway 
 
 
    Em                C   D 
And oh... sittin' on go..... 
            G 
Waitin' on sundown 
            C9 
Waitin' on sundown 
 
 
Verse 2: 
No more beatin' to be denied 
No more bruises that makeup can't hide 
All these years she's tried to love that man 
But all he ever gave her was the back of his hand 
Now Jimmy's a young boy just out of his teens 
So many things that he still hasn't seen 
But he's old enough to know wrong from right 
That's why he's helpin' Shelby make her break tonight 
 
 
    Em                C   D    
And oh... sittin' on go.... 
            G        C9 
Waitin' on sundown 
            D      C9  G/B  D 
Waitin' on sundown.......... 
            D      C9  G/B  D 
Waitin' on sundown........... 
 
 
G  C9 
 
Verse 3: 
Drove all night drove all day  
Jimmy listened to everything Shelby had to say 
How she'd suffered at her lover's hand 
He said honey I wanna change all that if I can 
They pulled over to take a little rest 
Shelby put her head down on Jimmy's chest 
And she could hear the beatin' of his heart 
And it sounded like the rhythm of a brand new start 
 
 
    Em                          C   D    
And oh... she's gonna let him know.... 
                  G        C9 
She's waitin' on sundown 
                       G        C9 
She's just waitin' on sundown 
                         G        C9 
Yeah they're waitin' on sundown..... 
           G        C9 
Waitin on sundown...... 
                         G 
They're just waitin' on sundown
