That Evening Sun
By: Old Crow Medicine Show
Capo 2
DThe alley dogs are barking chickens crowing down the lane
I feel just like that rooster with his mourAnful low refrain
With the Gsundown on my shoulAder justa hGanging 'round the yAard
I'll be Gleaving here tomorArow gonna catch an empty Dcar
DThere's a thousand constellations in that brilliant beaming sky
But the earth is just one station on that loneAsome starry line
There's a Gdistant whistle blowAing down a Grusty stretch of Atrack
And I'm Gjust an empty coal Acar on a train not coming Dback
Chorus:
Well I Ghate to see that evening sun go Ddown
When it's Bmlonesome coming down my Atrail
And I Gknow this train will take me where I'm Dbound
But I Ahate to see that evening sun go Ddown
DWell the sidewalks have their street lamps, the city has their glow
And the poorboy has the moonlight walking Ain his shadow
But the Gnighttime can't be trusAted to reGturn the morning Asun
And my Geyes have not adjusAted to this black face I've got Don
Chorus:
Well I Ghate to see that evening sun go Ddown
When it's Bmlonesome coming down my Atrail
And I Gknow this train will take me where I'm Dbound
But I Ahate to see that evening sun go Ddown
DDon't the nighttime make you lonesome for that early morning sun
For that light upon that engine reachAing t'wards the dawn
You can Gspend your whole life racAing down Grusty railroad Alines
It's the Gsetting sun your chasAing in that dark and rolling Dsky
Chorus:
Well I Ghate to see that evening sun go Ddown
When it's Bmlonesome coming down my Atrail
And I Gknow this train will take me where I'm Dbound
But I Ahate to see that evening sun go Ddown

That Evening Sun

By: Old Crow Medicine Show

Capo 2

The alley dogs are barking chickens crowing down the lane

I feel just like that rooster with his mournful low refrain

G A G A

With the sundown on my shoulder justa hanging 'round the yard

G A D

I'll be leaving here tomorrow gonna catch an empty car

There's a thousand constellations in that brilliant beaming sky

But the earth is just one station on that lonesome starry line

G A G A

There's a distant whistle blowing down a rusty stretch of track

G A D

And I'm just an empty coal car on a train not coming back

Chorus:

G D

Well I hate to see that evening sun go down

Bm A

When it's lonesome coming down my trail

G D

And I know this train will take me where I'm bound

A D

But I hate to see that evening sun go down

Well the sidewalks have their street lamps, the city has their glow

And the poorboy has the moonlight walking in his shadow

G A G A

But the nighttime can't be trusted to return the morning sun

G A D

And my eyes have not adjusted to this black face I've got on

Chorus:

G D

Well I hate to see that evening sun go down

Bm A

When it's lonesome coming down my trail

G D

And I know this train will take me where I'm bound

A D

But I hate to see that evening sun go down

Don't the nighttime make you lonesome for that early morning sun

For that light upon that engine reaching t'wards the dawn

G A G A

You can spend your whole life racing down rusty railroad lines

G A D

It's the setting sun your chasing in that dark and rolling sky

Chorus:

G D

Well I hate to see that evening sun go down

Bm A

When it's lonesome coming down my trail

G D

And I know this train will take me where I'm bound
