Sunset Man Lyrics

James Otto Sunset Man Lyrics

Verse 1:
I used to wake up early every day
Just to feel the sunrise on my face
Me and my woman on the front porch swing
Listening to the morning mockingbirds sing
Verse 2:
Well I woke one day to a screen door slam
Found a goodbye note on our nightstand
Next to her coffee cup and a wedding band
Since then I've been a sunset man
Chorus:
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
I know its warm and beautiful and lights up the sky
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:
It's hard not to cry but I'll do my best
Just keep this old chair facing west
Til she puts that ring back on her hand
I guess I'll always be a sunset man
Well I'll always be a sunset man
E B E (one strum)
Yeah I'll always be a sunset man
