[VERSE 1]
F C
Dusty wind blew 'cross the high plains
F Fsus4 F
As a stranger rode into town
C
With a certain reputation
F Fsus4 F
For the ladies and a gun
C
He walked to the bar so casual
F Fsus4 F
Just as easy as you please
C
He was bound to do some damage
F Fsus4 F C Fsus4 F C F Fsus4
With those Valentino eyes
[VERSE 2]
C
Well, the barmaid was an angel
F Fsus4 F
And she looked so out of place
C
And she said her name was Sunset
F Fsus4 F
She was different from the rest
C
And she couldn't help but notice
F Fsus4 F
The moment he walked through the door
C
That the gunman was something special
F Fsus4 F
And the bullet found a score
[CHORUS]
Bb Eb C
And the one mistake you make is just enough
Bb Eb C
And that one mistake is "Boy, you talk too tough"
Am F
Only takes a single bullet
C G
Bring the fastest trigger down
Am F
Only takes a pretty woman
C G
Put a gunman underground
Am F
And you may hear the same old story
C G
In ev'ry town, on ev'ry street
Am Bb Bbmaj7 Bb6 Bb5
The story of Sunset
C Fsus4 F C F Fsus4
And the Heartbreak Kid
[VERSE 3]
C
Dirty rain soaked through the doorway
F Fsus4 F
Of an upper west side bar
C
And the TV news was talking
F Fsus4 F
To the crowd of people there
C
Well the kid was always reckless
F Fsus4 F
He said "I'll never stay too long"
C
And when she knew that he would leave her
F Fsus4 F
Sunset shot that gunman down
[CHORUS]
Bb Eb C
And the one mistake you made was just enough
Bb Eb C
And that one mistake was "Boy, you talk too tough"
Am F
Only takes a single bullet
C G
Bring the fastest trigger down
Am F
Only takes a pretty woman
C G
Put a gunman underground
Am F
And you may hear the same old story
C G
In ev'ry town, on ev'ry street
Am Bb Bbmaj7 Bb6 Bb5
The story of Sunset
C
And the Heartbreak Kid
