Come Sundown

G                       C       
I heard the front door  closing 
G
softly

              D7      G
As I wakened  from my sleep

                     C      G
With the last touch  of her lips 
Lord

                D7    G     G7
Like a whisper  on my cheek


      C                  G
And I cursed the sun for rising

                             D7
For the worst Lord is yet to come

           G        C        
Cause this morning  she's just 
  G
leaving

                  D7        G
But come sundown  she'll be gone


                  C      G
See the lipstick  on the pillow

               D7          G
That I placed  beneath her head

                     C          G
And the soft sheets  still feel warm
 Lord

               D7      G    G7
Where she lay  upon my bed


       C                  G
And it hurts to know it's over

                           D7
For the hurt Lord has just begun

           G        C        
Cause this morning  she's just 
  G
leaving

                  D7        C  G
But come sundown  she'll be gone
