Sunset Man Chords

(ver. 1)
James Otto
I'm replacing this song since my last version got deleted.  If
anyone can figure out any other songs from James Otto's new CD,
please do!!!!   Brendan


Verse 1:
           E             A   E
I used to wake up early every day
         A        E      B     E
Just to feel the sunrise on my face
                       A      E
Me and my woman on the front porch swing
A                E       B            E
Listening to the morning mockingbirds sing


Verse 2:
                         A          E
Well I woke one day to a screen door slam
        A       E       B       A
Found a goodbye note on our nightstand
                             B       C#m
Next to her coffee cup and a wedding band
       A        E      B      E
Since then I've been a sunset man


Chorus:
       B                            A                E
When I see the sunrise coming up I draw the curtains down
          A                  E       B     (fast strum down-up-down)
Cause the morning brings her memory around
                                  A             E
I know its warm and beautiful and lights up the sky
    A             E             B
But these days it only hurts my eyes


Verse 3 (use verse 2 chords):
I don't show my face til the afternoon
Anything a.m is just too soon
Cause it reminds me how she up and ran
And damned me to be a sunset man


Repeat Chorus x2


Outro:
          E                   A     E
It's hard not to cry but I'll do my best
      A        E         B       A
Just keep this old chair facing west
                            B      C#m
Til she puts that ring back on her hand
             A      E    B      A
I guess I'll always be a sunset man
                 E    B      A
Well I'll always be a sunset man
                 E    B      E (one strum)
Yeah I'll always be a sunset man
