[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
