Sunset
Recorded by Roy Orbison
Written by Roy Orbison and Joe Melson
C 
I see her when the sun is high
 
The clouds write her name across the  
F 
sky
 
But the  
G7 
boss man is giving me the eye
 
I'd better go to work but I'll see her by and  
C 
by
At sunset I'm gonna see my sweetheart
 
Gonna  
G# 
hold her ever so  
C 
tight
At sunset I'm gonna see my baby
 
My  
G# 
baby 
 
to
D7 
night
C 
I see the shadows on the run
 
I see the setting of the  
F 
sun
 
At  
G7 
last my working day is done
 
The setting of the sun has finally  
C 
come
It's sunset I'm gonna see my sweetheart
 
Gonna  
G# 
hold her ever so  
C 
tight
At sunset I'm gonna see my baby
 
My  
G#

to
D7 
night
C 
I see her in the twilight standing there
 
The wind softly stirring in her  
F 
hair
 
The  
G7 
sweetest fruit the earth can bear
 
So young so warm and so  
C 
rare
It's sunset at last I'm with my sweetheart
 
I'm  
G# 
holding her  
C 
tight

It's sunset and now I'm with my baby

 
And  
G# 
she is  
D7 
mine 
 
 
A#7 
to--
C 
night

Who is Roy Orbison?
- Roy Kelton Orbison (April 23, 1936 - December 6, 1988) was an American singer, songwriter, and musician known for his impassioned singing style, complex song structures, and dark, emotional ballads. His music was described by critics as operatic, earning him the nicknames "the Caruso of Rock" and "the Big O". Many of Orbison's songs conveyed vulnerability at a time when most male rock-and-roll performers chose to project defiant masculinity. He performed while standing motionless and wearing black clothes to match his dyed black hair and dark sunglasses, which he wore to counter his shyness and stage fright.
Born in Texas, Orbison began singing in a rockabilly and country-and-western band as a teenager. He was signed by Sam Phillips of Sun Records in 1956, but enjoyed his greatest success with Monument Records. From 1960 to 1966, 22 of Orbison's singles reached the Billboard Top 40. He wrote or co-wrote almost all of his own Top 10 hits, including "Only the Lonely" (1960), "Running Scared" (1961), "Crying" (1961), "In Dreams" (1963), and "Oh, Pretty Woman" (1964).
After the mid-1960s, Orbison suffered a number of personal tragedies and his career faltered. He experienced a resurgence in popularity in the 1980s following the success of several cover versions of his songs. In 1988, he co-founded the Traveling Wilburys (a rock supergroup) with George Harrison, Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, and Jeff Lynne. Orbison died of a heart attack in December 1988 at age 52. One month later, his song "You Got It" (1989) was released as a solo single, becoming his first hit to reach the U.S. Top 10 in nearly 25 years.
Orbison's honors include inductions into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1987, the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1989, and the Musicians Hall of Fame and Museum in 2014. He received a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award and five other Grammy Awards. Rolling Stone placed him at number 37 on its list of the "Greatest Artists of All Time" and number 13 on its list of the "100 Greatest Singers of All Time". In 2002, Billboard magazine listed him at number 74 on its list of the Top 600 recording artists.
