(E  E7 on upstroke 
if you listen to the recording, 
you'll get the idea!)
 
[Verse 1]
      E
I can see her lyin' back in her satin dress
     B7                       E
In a room where ya do what ya don't confess
 
[Chorus]
E             A
   Sundown ya better take care
     D                         
If I find you've been creepin' 
       E
'round my back stairs
E             A
   Sundown ya better take care
     D                         
If I find you've been creepin' 
       E
'round my back stairs
 
E
 
[Verse 2]
           E
She's been lookin' like a queen 

in a sailor's dream
        B7                        E
And she don't always say what she really means
 
[Chorus]
E              A
   Sometimes I think it's a shame
       D                  
When I get feelin' better 
         E
when I'm feelin' no pain
E              A
   Sometimes I think it's a shame
       D                  
When I get feelin' better 
         E
when I'm feelin' no pain
 
[Instrumental]
| E   | E   | E
 
[Verse 3]
      E
I can picture every move 

that a man could make
        B7                 
Getting lost in her lovin' 
        E
is your first mistake
 
[Chorus]
E             A
   Sundown ya better take care
     D                         
If I find you've been creepin' 
       E
'round my back stairs
E              A
   Sometimes I think it's a sin
       D                     
When I feel like I'm winnin' 
         E
when I'm losin' again
 
[Instrumental]
| E   | E   | E   | E   | x3
| E   | E   | E
 
[Verse 4]
      E
I can see her lookin' fast in her faded jeans
        B7                        E
She's a hard lovin' woman, got me feelin' mean
 
[Chorus]
E              A
   Sometimes I think it's a shame
       D                  
When I get feelin' better 
         E
when I'm feelin' no pain
E             A
   Sundown ya better take care
     D                         
If I find you've been creepin' 
       E
'round my back stairs
E             A
   Sundown ya better take care
     D                         
If I find you've been creepin' 
       E
'round my back stairs
 
E
 
E              A
   Sometimes I think it's a sin
       D                     
When I feel like I'm winnin' 
         E
when I'm losin' again
