G  A   G   D   A 
 
     G                   A                   G                  D               A 
Like crippled ships that made it through the storms and finally reached a quiet shore 
    Em                A               D     G    A 
The homeless found a home on Susan's floor 
 
 
  D   
I didn't feel so cold and tired stretched out before her fire 
                                   A 
Rolling smokes and drinking up her wine 
    G          D                G               D                 A  
And I remember candle light and singing till we could not sing no more 
    Em             A               D      G    A 
And falling warm asleep on Susan's floor 
 
     D 
Well now that my song is sweeter I think I'd like to greet her 
                                      A 
And thank her for the favors that she gave 
  G          D       G                 D           A 
A stranger I came my head bowed in the rain to her door 
  Em              A                D 
I sat and sang my songs on Susan's floor 
 
 
       G              A         G                D     A   D 
In the morning I'd go on buying kingdoms with my songs 
                              A     Em             A               D  
Knowing I'd be back in just a while warming in the sunlight of her smile 
 
 
     D                     
Well lots of time and songs have passed I catch myself looking back 
                                 D  
Reliving all the wonder of those nights 
       G              D      G          D                A 
That's where I'd be today if I had only stayed one night more 
    Em           A               D 
And sang another song on Susan's floor 
 
  
Like crippled ships that made it through the storms and finally reached a quiet shore 
The homeless found a home on Susan's floor
