 E.......E7 on upstroke (if you listen to the recording, you'll get the idea!)
I  can see her lyin' back in her satin dress
 In a room  where ya do what ya don't  confess
 Sundown ya better  take care
 If I find  you bin creepin' 'round my  back stairs
 Sundown ya better  take care
 If I find  you bin creepin' 'round my  back stairs
She's  bin lookin' like a queen in a sailor's dream
 And she don't  always say what she really  means
 Sometimes I think  it's a shame
 When I get  feelin' better when I'm feelin'  no pain
 Sometimes I think  it's a shame
 When I get  feelin' better when I'm feelin'  no pain
I  can picture every move that a man could make
 Getting lost  in her lovin' is your first  mistake
 Sundown ya better  take care
 If I find  you bin creepin' 'round my  back stairs
 Sometimes I think  it's a sin
 When I feel  like I'm winnin' when I'm losin  again
 instr:
I  can see her lookin' fast in her faded jeans
 She's a hard  lovin' woman, got me feelin'  mean
 Sometimes I think  it's a shame
 When I get  feelin' better when I'm feelin'  no pain
 Sundown ya better  take care
 If I find  you bin creepin' 'round my  back stairs
 Sundown ya better  take care
 If I find  you bin creepin' 'round my  back stairs
 Sometimes I think  it's a sin
 When I feel  like I'm winnin' when I'm losin'  again
