  			Sunset  
 
Cm  
I see her when the sun is high  
 				     Fm  
The clouds write her name across the sky 
         G 
But, the boss man is giving me the eye  
        				                 C 
I'd better go to work, but I'll see her by and by  
    
Chorus: 
C 
At sunset I'm gonna see my sweetheart  
      G#          C   
Gonna hold her so tight  
At sunset I'm gonna see my baby  
   G#     F#    Cm 
My baby tonight  
 
(move everything ½ tone /chords: C#m   F#m  G#  C#  A  C#  A  G  C#m)  
 
I see the shadows on the run  
I see the setting of the sun  
At last my working day is done  
The setting of the sun has finally come  
 
It's sunset I'm gonna see my sweetheart  
Gonna hold her so tight  
It's sunset I'm gonna see my baby  
My baby tonight  
 
(move everything ½ tone chords: Dm  Gm  A  D  Bb  D  Bb  G#  Dm) 
 
I see her in the twighlight standing there  
The wind softly stirring in her hair  
The sweetest fruit the earth can bear  
So young so warm and so rare  
 
It's sunset, at last I'm with my sweetheart  
I'm holding her tight  
It's sunset and now I'm with my baby  
And she is mine tonight
