INTRO: C
 
 
Long haired harlot
            F  C
She come a-dancin'
            F
Eyes on her chances
           C
I know her kind
 
Ribbons of scarlet
                F   C
I've seen 'em untangling
          G
Wrapping around
             C
A poor boy's mind
 
 
CHORUS:
       F C
Sunset woman
       F     C
Nobody needs you
                   F
You're a worthless woman
                    C
An aging, overnight friend
       F C
Sunset woman
       F     C
Nobody needs to
   G
Be drowned
                     C    G    C
In a wishing well of sin
 
 
 
Rock 'n' Roll tavern
             F       C
She's like a fixture there
           F
Looking to pull a stare
                   C
From the 5 o'clock crowd
 
Finding no takers
                F C
For yesterday's papers
    G
She leaves, 
                        C
And takes the back door out
 
 
CHORUS:
       F C
Sunset woman
       F     C
Nobody needs you
                   F
You're a worthless woman
                    C
An aging, overnight friend
       F C
Sunset woman
       F     C
Nobody needs to
       G
Oh, be drowned
                     C    G    C
In a wishing well of sin
 
 
BRIDGE:
             F                           C
Oh, mistress eyes in disbelief, as she's leaving
                                                           G
Her youth was burned, the heads she once turned, they were gone
                  F                                 C
Lord, give her my smile and a coat, two souls worth saving
            G                          C
And see for me, she finds her way back home
 
 
CHORUS:
       F C
Sunset woman
       F     C
Nobody needs you
                   F
You're a worthless woman
                    C
An aging, overnight friend
       F C
Sunset woman
       F     C
Nobody needs to
   G
Be drowned
                     C 
In a wishing well of sin
 
 
OUTRO:
       G
Oh, be drowned
                     C 
In a wishing well of sin
                   G
Nobody wants to be drowned
                     C   
In a wishing well of sin
