I can see her lying back in her satin [C#] dress In a room where you [F#] do what you don't confess
Sundown, [B] you better take [E] [F#]
[B]
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 And she don't always say what she really means
Sometimes [B] I think it's a shame [E] When I get feeling [F#m] better when I'm feeling okay
[B] [E]
[F#] [F#m] I
[F#]
can picture every move that a man could make Getting lost [C#] in [B] her loving is your [F#m] first [F#] mistake
[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 got me feeling mean
Sometimes [B] I think it's a shame When [E] I get feeling better [F#] when I'm feeling okay
Sundown, you [B] better take care If [E] I find you been creeping [F#] round my back stairs
[B] Sundown, you better take [E] care If I find you been creeping [F#] round my back stairs
Sometimes I [B] think it's a sin [E] When I feel like I'm winning [F#] when I'm losing again
