EmGypsies danced around the campfire, Cshook their tambourines
They were Dwaiting for the ghost of an outlaw, AmSundown was his Emname
As the midnight hour grew closer and the Csky began to fall
You could Dsee his shadow in the light of the moon
He’d Amheard the gypsies' Emcall
       # Short Lead Break #
EmShe had hair as black as darkness, with Ceyes of emerald green
Oh, her Dvoice was soft and tender, Amooh she loved to Emsing
She will sing no more, or dance again or Cshake her tambourines
They had Dtaken her away, she was dead and gone
You could Amhear the gypsies Emsing
CHORUS:
AmOoh, DOoh, hurry EmSundown (the gypsies cry)

CHORUS: 
AmOoh, DOoh, hurry EmSundown (the gypsies cry)
COoh, DOoh, hurry EmSundown
AmOoh, DOoh, hurry EmSundown (oh the gypsies cry)C  C  C  D  D  
EmSilver doubles in his holsters, Cstars strapped to his heels
There was Dfire in his eyes, they say that Amhe was dressed to Emkill
He had hands as fast as lightning, a Cheart as cold as steel
He had Dcome for the one that took her life
To Amlie him in Boot EmHill
