Verse 1:
EAE
I used to wake up early every day
AEBE
Just to feel the sunrise on my face
AE
Me and my woman on the front porch swing
AEBE
Listening to the morning mockingbirds sing
Verse 2:
AE
Well I woke one day to a screen door slam
AEBA
Found a goodbye note on our nightstand
BC#m
Next to her coffee cup and a wedding band
AEBE
Since then I've been a sunset man
Chorus:
BAE
When I see the sunrise coming up I draw the curtains down
A E B (fast strum down-up-down)
Cause the morning brings her memory around
AE
I know its warm and beautiful and lights up the sky
AEB
But these days it only hurts my eyes
Verse 3 (use verse 2 chords):
I don't show my face til the afternoon
Anything a.m is just too soon
Cause it reminds me how she up and ran
And damned me to be a sunset man
Repeat Chorus x2
Outro:
EAE
It's hard not to cry but I'll do my best
AEBA
Just keep this old chair facing west
BC#m
Til she puts that ring back on her hand
AEBA
I guess I'll always be a sunset man
EBA
Well I'll always be a sunset man
E B E (one strum)
Yeah I'll always be a sunset man
