[A] [C]
I hate to [Am] see [G] that evening [C] sun go down.
[Gm] [F] I hate to see [A] that evening [Am] sun go down.
[A] [Dm] [G] Cause my baby, [Em]
he's [Am] done left [Dm] this [Am] town.
[C] Feeling [F] tomorrow [G]
like [C] I feel today.
[Gm]
If [F] I'm feeling tomorrow [G]
like [Am] I feel today,
[D] I'll [G] pack my trunks, make my [Am] getaway.
St.
[Cm] [Dm] Louis [A] woman [Cm]
with [G] her diamond ring, pulls that [C] man [G] around by [A] her apron string.
[Cm] If it [Gm] wasn't for [A] powder and [G] her store-bought hair, that man I [Dm] love [G] wouldn't have gone nowhere.
Now go where
[A] I go, St.
[F] Louis is [Am]
blue as I can be.
That man's got a heart like a [G] rock [Am] cast in the sea.
