Hurry Sundown by the Outlaws
INTRO: C D Em C D Am D Em (2x)
Em C
Gypsies danced around the campfire, shook their tambourines
D Am Em
They were waiting for the ghost of an outlaw, Sundown was his name
C
As the midnight hour grew closer and the sky began to fall
D
You could see his shadow in the light of the moon
Am Em
He’d heard the gypsies' call
# Short Lead Break #
Em C
She had hair as black as darkness, with eyes of emerald green
D Am Em
Oh, her voice was soft and tender, ooh she loved to sing
C
She will sing no more, or dance again or shake her tambourines
D
They had taken her away, she was dead and gone
Am Em
You could hear the gypsies sing
CHORUS:
Am D Em
Ooh, Ooh, hurry Sundown (the gypsies cry)
C D Em
Ooh, Ooh, hurry Sundown
Am D Em C C C D D
Ooh, Ooh, hurry Sundown (oh the gypsies cry)
Em

Am D Em C C C D D
Ooh, Ooh, hurry Sundown (oh the gypsies cry)
Em C
Silver doubles in his holsters, stars strapped to his heels
D Am Em
There was fire in his eyes, they say that he was dressed to kill
C
He had hands as fast as lightning, a heart as cold as steel
D
He had come for the one that took her life
Am Em
To lie him in Boot Hill
