No need to play the whole D chord; just do a walk down from the G to the Em7 and hit the F# bsss note 
on the E, second fret.

Sundown and th

Did I miss the

No-o, he had n

        
othing for me
          
And nobody cal

led today
            
And no one kno

  
ws what to say
           
Black sun is b

On Chinatown
        

[Verse 2]

And midnight t

There's a pois

And fever's ev

Bad haze that 


hangs around
        
In Chinatown
