[F#]
[F#m]
[F#]
I can see her lying back in her satin dress
[C#] In a room where you do [F#] what you don't confess
Sundown, [B] you better take care
[E] If I find you been creeping [F#] round my back stairs
Sundown, [B] you better take care
[E] If I find you been creeping [F#] round my back stairs
She's been looking like a queen in a sailor's dream
She don't always say what she really means
Sometimes [B] I think it's a shame
[E] When I get feeling better [F#] when I'm feeling no pain
Sometimes [B] I think it's a shame
[E] When I get feeling [F#] better when I'm feeling no pain
[F#m]
[F#]
I can picture every move that a man could make
Getting [C#] lost in her loving [B] is your [F#m] first mistake
[F#] [B] Sundown, you better take [E] care
If I find you been creeping [F#] round my back stairs
Sometimes [B] I think it's a sin
[E] When I feel like I'm winning [F#] when I'm losing again
[F#m]
[F#]
[F#m]
[F#]
I can see her looking fast in her faded jeans
She's a hard loving woman, don't be feeling mean
Sometimes [B] I think it's a shame
[E] When I get feeling [F#] better when I'm feeling no pain
[B] Sundown, you better take care
[E] If I find you been creeping [F#] round my back stairs
Sundown, you [B] better take care
[E] If I find you been creeping [F#m] round my back stairs
[F#]
Sometimes [B] I think it's a sin
[E] When I feel like I'm [B] winning [F#] when I'm losing again
