Old Crow Medicine Show - That Evening Sun

Capo 2

D
The alley dogs are barking chickens crowing down the lane
                                           A  
I feel just like that rooster with his mournful low refrain
         G                  A          G                  A
With the sundown on my shoulder justa hanging 'round the yard
        G                 A                        D
I'll be leaving here tomorrow gonna catch an empty car

There's a thousand constellations in that brilliant beaming sky
The earth is just one station on that lonesome starry line
There's a distant whistle blowing down a rusty stretch of track
And I'm just an empty coal car on that train not coming back

      G                               D
And I hate to see that evening sun go down
          Bm                      A
When it's lonesome coming down my trail
      G                                      D 
And I know this train will take me where I'm bound
      A                               D
But I hate to see that evening sun go down

Well the sidewalks have their street lamps city has the glow
And the poorboy has the moonlight walking in his shadow
But the nighttime can't be trusted to return the morning sun
And my eyes have not adjusted to this black face I've got on

Chorus

Well the nighttime make you lonesome for that early morning sun
For that light upon that engine reaching for the dawn
You can spend you whole life racing down rusty railroad lines
It's the setting sun your chasing in that dark and rolling sky

Chorus
