[Verse 1]

D                  G
First met her in Luang Prabang

    A                             G
She asked if I’d like to join her sunset gang

D                        G
I said yes, we climbed a hill together

      A                      G
Was a lovely evening, oh the perfect weather and

[Chorus 1]

D     A      G
Anja, sunset queen

Bm                         A          G
Seeks out the sunsets that need to be seen

D                         C       G
Pull up a chair, let Anja be your guide

    C             G        D
Cos there’s no better girl to sit alongside

[Link 1]

Bm 

A                 Bm
To sit alongside

             A
To watch the sunshine hide

[Verse 2]

D               G
Next saw her in Phnom Penh

                A                              G
Had thought the gang had split, that I’d never see her again

    D                    G
Our gang of two explored sunset options

       A                   G
Before getting drunk and expressing our emotions

[Chorus 2]

D     A      G
Anja, sunset queen

Bm                         A          G
Seeks out the sunsets that need to be seen

D                         C       G
Pull up a chair, let Anja be your guide

    C             G        D
Cos there’s no better girl to sit alongside

[Link 2]

Bm

A                 Bm
To sit alongside

             A
To watch the sunshine hide

[Bridge]

D  Asus  G*  Asus

D         Asus              G*          Asus
Now every time that it gets dark, that it gets late

D         Asus            G*             Asus
Now every time that I sit, and watch the earth rotate

D      Asus          G*     Asus
I have reason to smile, to celebrate

D        Asus         G*        Asus
Cos it reminds me of Anja

D        Asus         G*        Asus
Cos it reminds me of Anja

D        Asus         G*        Asus
Cos it reminds me of

[Outro]

Seeks out the sunsets that need to be seen

Cos there’s no better girl to sit alongside

Anja, sunset queen

Bm                         A          G
Seeks out the sunsets that need to be seen

D                         C       G
Pull up a chair, let Anja be your guide

    C             G        D
Cos there’s no better girl to sit alongside
