[Verse 1]
      E
I can see her lyin' back in her satin dress

     B7                       E
In a room where ya do what ya don't confess
[Chorus]

   Sundown ya better take care

     D                                E

           E
She's been lookin' like a queen in a sailor's dream

        B7                        E
And she don't always say what she really means
[Chorus]
E              A
   Sometimes I think it's a shame

       D                           E

I can picture every move that a man could make

        B7                         E
Getting lost in her lovin' is your first mistake
[Chorus]
E             A
   Sundown ya better take care

     D                                E
If I find you've been creepin' 'round my back stairs

   Sometimes I think it's a sin

       D                              E
When I feel like I'm winnin' when I'm losin' again
[Instrumental] | E | E | E | E | x3 | E | E | E [Verse 4]
      E
I can see her lookin' fast in her faded jeans

        B7                        E
She's a hard lovin' woman, got me feelin' mean
[Chorus]
E              A
   Sometimes I think it's a shame

E             A
   Sundown ya better take care

     D                                E
If I find you've been creepin' 'round my back stairs

   Sundown ya better take care

     D                                E

E              A
   Sometimes I think it's a sin

When I feel like I'm winnin' when I'm losin' again
