Little Susie

Intro: Am E7/A (4x)

Am        Dm7          Am/E
Somebody killed Little Susie
     E7            F
The girl with the tune
                  E7sus      E7
Who sings in the daytime at noon
Am             Dm7
She was there screaming
Am/E         E7           F
Beating her voice in her doom
           E7sus        E7
But nobody came to her soon
Am               Dm7
A fall down the stairs
    Am/E
Her dress torn
         E7           F
Oh, the blood in her hair
             E7sus     E7
A mystery so sullen in air

Am                E7
She lie there so tenderly
C6            Dm
Fashioned so slenderly
Am            Dm7
Lift her with care
         E7           Am
Oh, the blood in her hair

( Am E7/A ) (4x)

Am       Dm7     Am/E
Everyone came to see
          E7          F
The girl that now is dead
                   E7sus        E7
So blind stare the eyes in her head

Am              Dm7           
And suddenly a voice from the crowd 
Am/E
said
      E7            F
This girl lived in vain
                   E7sus      
Her face bear such agony, such 
  E7
strain
Am           Dm7           Am/E
But only the man from next door
             E7            F
Knew Little Susie, now he cried
As he reached down
   E7sus          E7
To close Susie's eyes

Am                E7
She lie there so tenderly
C6            Dm
Fashioned so slenderly
Am            Dm7
Lift her with care
         E7           Am
Oh, the blood in her hair~

( Am E7/A ) (4x)

       Dm7(9/11)     Gm6/Bb
It was all for God's sake
         Gm6         A
For her singing the tune
     Gm                  A
For someone to feel her despair
      Dm7(9/11)      Gm6/Bb    Gm6
To be damned to know hoping is dead
            A
And you're doomed
         Gm
Then to scream out
              E
And nobody's there
She knew no one cared

Am          Dm7
Father left home
      Am/E
Poor mother died
E7             F
Leaving Susie alone
              E7sus         E7
Grandfather's soul too had flown
Am        Dm7
No one to care
        Am/E
Just to love her
     E7           F
How much can one bear
               E7sus         E7
Neglecting the needs in her prayers
Am             Dm7
Neglection can kill
       Am/E           E7
Like a knife in your soul
        F
Oh, it will
                    E7sus       E7
Little Susie fought so hard to live

Am                E7
She lie there so tenderly
C6            Dm
Fashioned so slenderly
Am            Dm7
Lift her with care
    E7           Am
So young and so fair
