On Susan's Floor

G  A   G   D   A

     G                   A     
Like crippled ships that made it 
              G               
through the storms and finally 
   D               A
reached a quiet shore
    Em                A           
The homeless found a home on 
    D     G    A
Susan's floor


  D
I didn't feel so cold and tired 
stretched out before her fire
Rolling smokes and drinking up her 
A
wine
    G          D              
And I remember candle light and 
  G               D               
singing till we could not sing no 
  A
more
    Em             A               
And falling warm asleep on Susan's 
D      G    A
floor

     D
Well now that my song is sweeter I 
think I'd like to greet her
And thank her for the favors that 
    A
she gave
  G          D       G           
A stranger I came my head bowed 
      D           A
in the rain to her door
  Em              A                
I sat and sang my songs on Susan's 
D
floor


       G              A       
In the morning I'd go on buying 
  G                D     A   D
kingdoms with my songs
                              A    
Knowing I'd be back in just a while
 Em             A             
 warming in the sunlight of her 
  D
smile


     D
Well lots of time and songs have 
passed I catch myself looking back
Reliving all the wonder of those 
D
nights
       G              D      G   
That's where I'd be today if I 
       D                A
had only stayed one night more
    Em           A               
And sang another song on Susan's 
D
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
