Verse 1:
E A E
I used to wake up early every day
A E B E
Just to feel the sunrise on my face
A E
Me and my woman on the front porch swing
A E B E
Listening to the morning mockingbirds sing
Verse 2:
A E
Well I woke one day to a screen door slam
A E B A
Found a goodbye note on our nightstand
B C#m
Next to her coffee cup and a wedding band
A E B E
Since then I've been a sunset man
Chorus:
B A E
When I see the sunrise coming up I draw the curtains down
A E B (fast strum down-up-down)
Cause the morning brings her memory around
A E
I know its warm and beautiful and lights up the sky
A E B
But these days it only hurts my eyes
Verse 3 (use verse 2 chords):
I don't show my face til the afternoon
Anything a.m is just too soon
Cause it reminds me how she up and ran
And damned me to be a sunset man
Repeat Chorus x2
Outro:
E A E
It's hard not to cry but I'll do my best
A E B A
Just keep this old chair facing west
B C#m
Til she puts that ring back on her hand
A E B A
I guess I'll always be a sunset man
E B A
Well I'll always be a sunset man
E B E (one strum)
Yeah I'll always be a sunset man
