That Evening Sun Acordes

That Evening Sun
By: Old Crow Medicine Show
 
Capo 2
 
 
 
D
The alley dogs are barking chickens crowing down the lane
                                           A
I feel just like that rooster with his mournful low refrain
         G                  A          G                  A
With the sundown on my shoulder justa hanging 'round the yard
        G                 A                        D
I'll be leaving here tomorrow gonna catch an empty car
 
 
D
There's a thousand constellations in that brilliant beaming sky
                                              A
But the earth is just one station on that lonesome starry line
          G                   A          G                A
There's a distant whistle blowing down a rusty stretch of track
        G                  A                         D
And I'm just an empty coal car on a train not coming back
 
 
Chorus:
 
       G                               D
Well I hate to see that evening sun go down
          Bm                      A
When it's lonesome coming down my trail
      G                                      D
And I know this train will take me where I'm bound
      A                               D
But I hate to see that evening sun go down
 
 
D
Well the sidewalks have their street lamps, the city has their glow
                                          A
And the poorboy has the moonlight walking in his shadow
        G                      A        G                A
But the nighttime can't be trusted to return the morning sun
       G                  A                               D
And my eyes have not adjusted to this black face I've got on
 
 
Chorus:
 
       G                               D
Well I hate to see that evening sun go down
          Bm                      A
When it's lonesome coming down my trail
      G                                      D
And I know this train will take me where I'm bound
      A                               D
But I hate to see that evening sun go down
 
 
D
Don't the nighttime make you lonesome for that early morning sun
                                     A
For that light upon that engine reaching t'wards the dawn
        G                        A        G              A
You can spend your whole life racing down rusty railroad lines
         G                    A                            D
It's the setting sun your chasing in that dark and rolling sky
 
 
Chorus:
 
       G                               D
Well I hate to see that evening sun go down
          Bm                      A
When it's lonesome coming down my trail
      G                                      D
And I know this train will take me where I'm bound
      A                               D
But I hate to see that evening sun go down
