INTRO: C D Em C D Am D Em (2x)
Em                                  C
Gypsies danced around the campfire, shook their tambourines

          D                                   Am              Em
They were waiting for the ghost of an outlaw, Sundown was his name

                                         C 
As the midnight hour grew closer and the sky began to fall

          D                                  
You could see his shadow in the light of the moon

     Am                 Em 
He'd heard the gypsies' call

Em                                      C
She had hair as black as darkness, with eyes of emerald green

        D                          Am               Em
Oh, her voice was soft and tender, ooh she loved to sing

                                         C 
She will sing no more, or dance again or shake her tambourines

         D                                  
They had taken her away, she was dead and gone

          Am               Em 
You could hear the gypsies sing
CHORUS:
Am   D          Em
Ooh, Ooh, hurry Sundown (the gypsies cry)

C    D          Em
Ooh, Ooh, hurry Sundown

Am   D          Em                           C C C  D D
Ooh, Ooh, hurry Sundown (oh the gypsies cry)

      Em
Hurry Sundown

Em                              C
Silver doubles in his holsters, stars strapped to his heels

          D                               Am                Em
There was fire in his eyes, they say that he was dressed to kill

                                     C 
He had hands as fast as lightning, a heart as cold as steel

       D                                  
He had come for the one that took her life

   Am              Em 
To lie him in Boot Hill
