capo: 2nd fret
 C   Em   F   F(whole song)
There's a black tinted sunset with the prettiest of skies
Lay back,lay back, rest your head on my thighs
There is some awful action that just breathes from my hand
Just breaths from a deed so exquisetly grand
You are always on my mind x4
Well, I would not have moved if I knew you were here
Its some special action with motives unclear
Now you'll haunt me,
Till I've paid for what I've done
It's a payment which precludes the having of fun
And you are always on mind x4
But hello, I've got a new partner riding with me
Yes I'v got a new partner now.
Now the sun's fading faster, we're ready to go
There's a skirt in the bedroom that's pleasantly low
And the loons on the moor, the fish in the flow
And my friends they still whisper hello
We all know what we know, it's a hard swath to mow
When you think like a hermit you forget what you know
And you are always on my mind x4
I've got a new partner, riding with me x3
Yes I've got a new partner now

There's a black tinted sunset with the prettiest of skies

Lay back,lay back, rest your head on my thighs

There is some awful action that just breathes from my hand

Just breaths from a deed so exquisetly grand

You are always on my mind x4

Well, I would not have moved if I knew you were here

Its some special action with motives unclear

Now you'll haunt me,

Till I've paid for what I've done

It's a payment which precludes the having of fun

And you are always on mind x4

But hello, I've got a new partner riding with me

Yes I'v got a new partner now.

Now the sun's fading faster, we're ready to go

There's a skirt in the bedroom that's pleasantly low

And the loons on the moor, the fish in the flow

And my friends they still whisper hello

We all know what we know, it's a hard swath to mow

When you think like a hermit you forget what you know

And you are always on my mind x4

I've got a new partner, riding with me x3

Yes I've got a new partner now
