That Evening Sun
By: Old Crow Medicine Show

Capo 2


D MajorD
The alley dogs are barking chickens crowing down the lane
                      A augmentedA
I feel just like that rooster with his mournful low refrain
     G+G         A augmentedA     G+G         A augmentedA
With the sundown on my shoulder justa hanging 'round the yard
    G+G         A augmentedA            D MajorD
I'll be leaving here tomorrow gonna catch an empty car

D MajorD
There's a thousand constellations in that brilliant beaming sky
                       A augmentedA
But the earth is just one station on that lonesome starry line
     G+G          A augmentedA     G+G        A augmentedA
There's a distant whistle blowing down a rusty stretch of track
    G+G         A augmentedA             D MajorD
And I'm just an empty coal car on a train not coming back


Chorus:

    G+G                D MajorD
Well I hate to see that evening sun go down
     B minorBm           A augmentedA
When it's lonesome coming down my trail
   G+G                   D MajorD
And I know this train will take me where I'm bound
   A augmentedA                D MajorD
But I hate to see that evening sun go down


D MajorD
Well the sidewalks have their street lamps, the city has their glow
                     A augmentedA
And the poorboy has the moonlight walking in his shadow
    G+G           A augmentedA    G+G        A augmentedA
But the nighttime can't be trusted to return the morning sun
    G+G         A augmentedA                D MajorD
And my eyes have not adjusted to this black face I've got on


Chorus:

    G+G                D MajorD
Well I hate to see that evening sun go down
     B minorBm           A augmentedA
When it's lonesome coming down my trail
   G+G                   D MajorD
And I know this train will take me where I'm bound
   A augmentedA                D MajorD
But I hate to see that evening sun go down


D MajorD
Don't the nighttime make you lonesome for that early morning sun
                   A augmentedA
For that light upon that engine reaching t'wards the dawn
    G+G            A augmentedA    G+G       A augmentedA
You can spend your whole life racing down rusty railroad lines
     G+G          A augmentedA              D MajorD
It's the setting sun your chasing in that dark and rolling sky


Chorus:

    G+G                D MajorD
Well I hate to see that evening sun go down
     B minorBm           A augmentedA
When it's lonesome coming down my trail
   G+G                   D MajorD
And I know this train will take me where I'm bound
   A augmentedA                D MajorD
But I hate to see that evening sun go down
