Capo: 1st Fret
Intro:     G   C9(x2)
GJimmy was waitin' on Shelby Jean
In the pCarking lot at the Dairy Queen
GHe knew she's gonna be there soon
Then they'll blCow this town like a cheap balloon
GShe came in cryin' this morning at the store
Said I sCwear Jimmy, I just can't take no more
GSo he quit his job and drew his pay
Now he's hCelpin' Shelby make her getaway
Chorus:
And Emoh... sittin' on gCo...D..
Waitin' on sGundown
Waitin' on sC9undown
No more beatin' to be denied
No more bruises that makeup can't hide
All these years she's tried to love that man
But all he ever gave her was the back of his hand
Now Jimmy's a young boy just out of his teens
So many things that he still hasn't seen
But he's old enough to know wrong from right
That's why he's helpin' Shelby make her break tonight
Chorus:
And Emoh... sittin' on gCo...D.
Waitin' on sGundownC9  
Waitin' on sDundown.C9....G/B.....D  
Waitin' on sDundown.C9....G/B.....D.
G  C9
Drove all night drove all day 
Jimmy listened to everything Shelby had to say
How she'd suffered at her lover's hand
He said honey I wanna change all that if I can
They pulled over to take a little rest
Shelby put her head down on Jimmy's chest
And she could hear the beatin' of his heart
And it sounded like the rhythm of a brand new start
Chorus:
And Emoh... she's gonna let him knCow..D..
She's waitin' on sGundownC9  
She's just waitin' on sGundownC9  
Yeah they're waitin' on sGundown...C9..
Waitin on sGundown...C9...
They're just waitin' on sGundown

Andy Griggs - Waitin' On Sundown

Capo: 1st Fret

G C9

Intro: (x2)

Jimmy was waitin' on Shelby Jean

In the parking lot at the Dairy Queen

He knew she's gonna be there soon

Then they'll blow this town like a cheap balloon

She came in cryin' this morning at the store

Said I swear Jimmy, I just can't take no more

So he quit his job and drew his pay

Now he's helpin' Shelby make her getaway

Chorus:

Em C D

And oh... sittin' on go.....

Waitin' on sundown

No more beatin' to be denied

No more bruises that makeup can't hide

All these years she's tried to love that man

But all he ever gave her was the back of his hand

Now Jimmy's a young boy just out of his teens

So many things that he still hasn't seen

But he's old enough to know wrong from right

That's why he's helpin' Shelby make her break tonight

Chorus:

Em C D

And oh... sittin' on go....

G C9

Waitin' on sundown

D C9 G/B D

Waitin' on sundown..........

D C9 G/B D

Waitin' on sundown...........

G C9

Drove all night drove all day

Jimmy listened to everything Shelby had to say

How she'd suffered at her lover's hand

He said honey I wanna change all that if I can

They pulled over to take a little rest

Shelby put her head down on Jimmy's chest

And she could hear the beatin' of his heart

And it sounded like the rhythm of a brand new start

Chorus:

Em C D

And oh... she's gonna let him know....

G C9

She's waitin' on sundown

G C9

She's just waitin' on sundown

G C9

Yeah they're waitin' on sundown.....

G C9

Waitin on sundown......

They're just waitin' on sundown
