Biography:
Australian new wave band Icehouse was formed in 1977, initially called 'Flowers', by Iva Davies (born Ivor Arthur Davies, on 22 May 1955, in Wauchope, New South Wales, Australia). Inspired by art rock and avant-garde pop, Davies was the main creative force behind the band, being a classically trained musician. Band member Keith Welsh joined him on bass. For a number of years they also obtained the services of Bob Kretschmer, until he was replaced by young guitarist Paul Gildea.

[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"
