[Verse 1]
[Em]There she was be[A]hind the counter
When I [Em]saw her she t[A]ook me by surp[Em]rise
Ten years had passed since
Our [A]brief encounter
When I got [Em]caught with
[A]the sun in my eye[Em]s

[Verse 2]
It was [A]a total eclipse of [Em]the sun
[A]Total eclipse of the sun
[B]

[Verse 3]
On that [Em]hot summer day
she [A]blew me [Em]away
In a total [B]eclipse of the [Em]sun

[Verse 4]
I [Em]went there to buy a Christ[A]mas trinket
I never [Em]thought I could find
[A]such [Em]a face
The way she said goodbye,
[A]who would think it
Would haunt [Em]me in this h[A]oliday p[Em]lace

[Verse 5]
It was [A]a total eclipse of [Em]the sun
[A]Total eclipse of the sun
[B]

[Verse 6]
She [Em]rolled back the years
To [A]the pain and the [Em]tears
Of that total [B]eclipse of [Em]the sun

[Verse 7]
[Em]In that July back in[A] '63
She sent my [Em]word crash
[A]ing down around [Em]me
I learned to fear what a [A]woman can do
When she's [Em]tired of [A]listening to [Em]you

[Verse 8]
It was [A]a total eclipse of [Em]the sun
[A]Total eclipse of the sun
[B]

[Verse 9]
She [Em]shot her gun [A]and watched my [Em]blood run
In a total [B]eclipse of [Em]the sun

[Verse 10]
[Em]Her makeup was flawless
[A]Her clothes were tailored
She [Em]smiled with [A]holiday [Em]cheer
Back then I was poor [A]but now I was rich
And [Em]still I stood [A]frozen [Em]with fear

[Verse 11]
It was [A]a total eclipse of [Em]the sun
A [A]total eclipse of the sun
[B]

[Verse 12]
That [Em]girl burned me twice
[A]turned me to [Em]ice
In a total [B]eclipse of [Em]the sun

[Verse 13]
She [Em]invited me to her
[A]folks' summer home
And when I [Em]got there she told me goodbye
I stayed the next day
and she [A]stayed away
While [Em]the sun burned a [A]hole in my [Em]eye

[Verse 14]
It was [A]a total eclipse of [Em]the sun
A [A]total eclipse of the sun
[B]

[Verse 15]
[Em]There was no doubt [A]i was b[Em]lacked out
In a total [B]eclipse of [Em]the sun

[Verse 16]
[Em]Colorful Christmas lights were [A]blinking
[Em]And the snow turned
[A]everything [Em]white
The minute I saw her I stared thinking
Of that painful sun[A]beam [Em]of light

[Verse 17]
It was [A]a total eclipse of [Em]the sun
A [A]total eclipse of the sun
[B]

[Verse 18]
She [Em]was the infliction o[A]f my crucifixi[Em]on
In a total ec[B]lipse of [Em]the sun
[A]A total eclipse of the sun
[B]

[Verse 19]
I remem[Em]ber that day
When [A]they all looked [Em]away
From a total ec[B]lipse of [Em]the sun
