[C] I first [G] met Sundown Mary [F] a year ago [C] today
Hitching the same [G] road I was [F] but going the other [C] way
[E]
[Am] We talked and then she [Em] said [Am] you might be nice to have [G] around
If you [C] don't mind [F] laying [C] your head wherever [G] the Sun [C] goes down
I've always been [G] a loner.
I never [F] had no one [C] before
But [G] with every town we passed through I [F] loved her [C] a little [E] more and [Am] one night as I [Am] kissed her
I thought she felt the [G] same
[G] But then the spell [C] was broken by [G] the whistle of a train
[C] What have you heard from [Gm] Sundown [Am] Mary?
What has she done [C] today?
[F] Is she [Em] eating her food [Am] from a silver spoon off of a [G] golden plate?
[F] Is she in the chips [C] in Texas [Ab] or stranded [Am] broken, Maine, [F] do [C] you know if Sundown Mary?
[F] ever speaks [C] my name
[F] ever speaks [C] my name
We hopped a train [G] down a Baton Rouge [F] the trip took [C] several days
I had no [G] idea that she thought [F] of going separate [C] ways
[E]
[A] There in the crowded [Em] station.
[Am] She softly spoke [G] my name
[F] And said [G] it's time [C] to leave you cause I come and [C] go like rain
There's nothing left of [G] what you'd call [F] the man I used to [C] be
For in her [G] place an empty space [F] haunts [C] my memory
[A] Always [Em] broken hungry [Am] I age [G] a year a day
And [G] when I get to [Gm] drinking [C] nights, there's [G] just one thing I say
[C] What have you heard from [Gm] Sundown Mary?
[Am] What has she done [C] today?
[F] Is she eating [Em] her food [Am] from a silver spoon off of a golden [G] plate?
[F] Is she in the chips [C] in Texas [Bm] or stranded broken, [Am] Maine?
