G     Em       G      Em
Black river flows so slowly there's no
G       Em     G      Em
knowing its direction
        G      Am   C        B#m
Just as aimlessly I followed you
 Bm      D    Am
acourtin your affection
   C              G      D
As surely as it's flowin down
     Am
I'll hear that high lonesome sound
        G   Em   G        Cadd9
Another solitary sun west bound

Towards lonesome sundown

[Chorus]
G        Am        Em
lonesome sundown
G        C         Am
lonesome sundown
         G
lonesome sundown
G        Am        Em
lonesome sundown
G        C         Am
lonesome sundown
         G
lonesome sundown

[Verse]
G        Em   G        Em
Lonesome toil Lonesome task
         G       Em       G     Em
Bring us comfort from the past
       G      Am       C         B#m
Stroll boldly down the path quietly
    Bm         D        Am
Celebrate what we don't have
C             G       D
Sun shining reminding us
   Am
Of comfort from weather beaten hands
G      Em       G     Cadd9
Sunset homesick silhouette

Against the rope burned west

[Chorus]
G        Am        Em
lonesome sundown
G        C         Am
lonesome sundown
         G
lonesome sundown
G        Am        Em
lonesome sundown
G        C         Am
lonesome sundown
         G
lonesome sundown

[Verse]
G       Em      G      Em
Feel no need to reason why
    G        Em       G     Em
the sun will rise and set
G       Am     C      B#m
Just as I dont burden our
     Bm         D    Am
last scene with no regret
C                G         D
Heading west out cross the tracks
Am
Then deep currents draw me back
      G          Em    G        Cadd9
Still waters can often hide the fact

Two hearts are crossed so deep

[Chorus]
G        Am        Em
lonesome sundown
G        C         Am
lonesome sundown
         G
lonesome sundown
G        Am        Em
lonesome sundown
G        C         Am
lonesome sundown
         G
lonesome sundown
