That Evening Sun(Chords)

	        

 

Cpo 2 



D 
The alley dogs are barking chickens crowing down the lane 
                                           A   
I feel just like that rooster with his mournful low refrain 
         G                  A          G                  A 
With the sundown on my shoulder justa hanging 'round the yard 
        G                 A                        D 
I'll be leaving here tomorrow gonna catch an empty car 


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


Chorus: 

       G                               D 
Well I hate to see that evening sun go down 
          Bm                      A 
When it's lonesome coming down my trail 
      G                                      D  
And I know this train will take me where I'm bound 
      A                               D 
But I hate to see that evening sun go down 


D 
Well the sidewalks have their street lamps, the city has their glow 
                                          A 
And the poorboy has the moonlight walking in his shadow 
        G                      A        G                A 
But the nighttime can't be trusted to return the morning sun 
       G                  A                               D 
And my eyes have not adjusted to this black face I've got on 


Chorus: 

       G                               D 
Well I hate to see that evening sun go down 
          Bm                      A 
When it's lonesome coming down my trail 
      G                                      D  
And I know this train will take me where I'm bound 
      A                               D 
But I hate to see that evening sun go down 


D 
Don't the nighttime make you lonesome for that early morning sun 
                                     A 
For that light upon that engine reaching t'wards the dawn 
        G                        A        G              A 
You can spend your whole life racing down rusty railroad lines 
         G                    A                            D 
It's the setting sun your chasing in that dark and rolling sky 


Chorus: 

       G                               D 
Well I hate to see that evening sun go down 
          Bm                      A 
When it's lonesome coming down my trail 
      G                                      D  
And I know this train will take me where I'm bound 
      A                               D 
But I hate to see that evening sun go down
