Waitin On Sundown

Intro:  G   C9 (x2)

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


Chorus:
    Em                C   D
And oh... sittin' on go.....
            G
Waitin' on sundown
            C9
Waitin' on sundown



Continues after the ad
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


Chorus:
    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


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


Chorus:
    Em                       
And oh... she's gonna let him 
   C   D
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
