Susie was a pearl of a woman
Em          C     G
Jack was a golden man,

And he gave her a wedding band

Parents said they were just children,

Love comes as fast as it leaves
D                                    C
They think they've built a firm foundation
D                    C           Em
'Till life knocks it down with a breeze!

The bank bought him the land

D                C        Em
I'll pay them by May if I can

G              C              G
Sometimes they talk about children
Em            C              G
Names, and things that it'll do
D                              C
If it's a girl we'll call her Johanna,

She'll grow up to be just like you

G               C                G
Jack was out ploughing the south field
Em         C             G
Trying to beat the next rain
D                            C
Susie, she watched through window
D                C       Em
As the down pour finally came
G                 C            G
He was riding the side of the terrace
Em                C       G
When the mud gave way to wheel
C                       D
Tractor tipped over on Jack
C            D            Em
The cold was all he could feel

G          C           G
Susie ran out to the rain storm
Em              C              G
Threw her arms around her true love
D                            C
The tears were lost in the water,
D         C         Em
Next to a puddle of blood

G           C           G
He told his wife not to worry
Em                       C         G
Said the soft ground has broken my fall
D                       C
He told he'd loved her forever
D                  C           Em
Then he didn't say nothing at all.


G          C            G
Susie grew old and grey headed
Em           C      G
She never did marry again
D                          B7   C
Jack took the high road to freedom,
G            D            Em
She took the long road to him

G             C         G
Living comes natural to many
Em           C        G
Love comes natural to few

You take the high road to freedom
G              D           Em
I'll take the long road to you
