In the evening, baby, when the sun goes down
       A                          E
In the evening, when the sun goes down
          B7      A                      E 
Sure gets lonesome when your baby's not around.

Sure gets lonesome, sleepin' all by yourself

when the sun goes down.


[Harp solo verse again] 


In the evening, in the evening, mama, when the sun goes down
In the evening, mama, when the sun goes down
Sure gets lonesome when your baby's not around,
when the sun goes down.
