Biography:
John Hiatt (born on August 20, 1952 in Indianapolis, Indiana, U.S.) is an American blues and rock guitarist, pianist, and singer-songwriter. He has been nominated for eleven Grammy Awards. Hiatt's sales have never quite matched his reputation. His songs have been covered by a wide variety of artists such as Bonnie Raitt, Ronnie Milsap, Willie Nelson, Iggy Pop, Three Dog Night, and The Neville Brothers, yet it took him thirteen years to reach the charts himself.

The acoustic guitar here is in dropped-D tuning (DADGBE). NB A tip for
playing it - the top E string is mostly avoided apart from the motif
that connects the verses, which goes something like:
-----3---5---2-
-----3---5---3-
--/4--/6-------
-----------0---

I had a go at tabbing the slide part, but I quickly realised I haven't
a clue about playing slide (which doesn't help when you're trying to
transcibe Ry Cooder!). Does anybody else want to try?- if it's any
help, I'd be reasonably certain that it's in either open D or open E
tuning.
Corrections and comments welcome, as always...
LIPSTICK SUNSET - John Hiatt
----------------------------
D
G D A G
There's a lipstick sunset smeared across the August sky
A D Bm
There's a bitter sweet perfume hanging in the fields
A
The creek is running high
G D F# Bm E
And I left my love a-waiting in the dawn somewhere to wonder why
D D/F# G
By the end of the day all her sweet dreams would fade
A D G A D
To a lipstick sunset
And the radio was playing and that old summer heat was on the rise
I just had to get away before some sad old song
Brought tears to my eyes
And Lord I couldn't tell her that her love was only killing me
By the end of the day all her sweet dreams would fade
To a lipstick sunset
Well it's pretty as a picture, red and blushing, just before the night
Maybe love's like that for me,
Maybe I can only see as you take away the light
But hold me in the darkness - we can dream about the cool twilight
Til the dawning of the day when I make my getaway
To a lipstick sunset
G D D/F# G
There will come another day, and I'll make my getaway
A D
To a lipstick sunset
