Hurry Sundown   by   the Outlaws
  
  
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
