Met a boy who made me cry
D F#m E A D
He said stay away from my kind
A D F#m D
I said I appreciate his honesty and I
F#m E A D
Stayed away for a while
A Am Bm Dm D
Then he cried and I laughed on the telephone
F#m E A D
And we talked for hours
A Bm A Dm
He says he wants to be a rock-star
A D
Well so do I, So I
E A
Guess it would never work out
E A F#m
But on these Summer nights
D E A
When the weather's right
F#m A
I miss him by my side
F#m E D
Oh by my side
A E
A D A F#m D
And when the wind blows west from the hills
F#m E D A
On these April nights, I'll think of him
D F#m D
Oh the boy who surely taught me how to love
F#m E
Showed me how to trust
D F#m A
And I gave in
E A
And oh our love it was so strong
Dm
It was so deep
D A
And we were young
E A
And I was a little bit naive
D A D
But still how I was in his arms for one thousand sundowns
A F#m D E A D
It was a love worth remembering
A F#m
And on these Summer nights
D A
When the weather's right
F#m
I miss him by my side
E A E A
Oh by my side
And oh my darling
E F#m E D E A
Please say you'll miss me too
Bm F#m
On these summer nights
A F#m E A D
You'll miss me by your side
A E F#m
A D A E
A E A
D A E
A Bm A D E
And I know I'll see you face at the gates of heaven
F#m E D
When it's my turn to go
A F#m A D
But oh Lord please do not pass judgement on us
A E D
We were but young and full of love
A
And oh please let me cry in his arms
F#m D
Just once more
C F#m B A D
For one thousand sundowns
Bm A E A F#m
For one thousand sundowns
