Second Handed Flowers

C                      F         
I was working in Miami for a day 
   C
or 2 I decided I'd look
                       G      C
 up a girl that I once knew I bought
 some flowers and went
            F              C      
 to see the girl I used to know 
  F           C
the lady at her door said
         G            C
 she had married long ago. Times 
will change and towns
                 F            C
 will change and there I was alone 
suddenly I wondered
                  G       C
 would Suzi be at home so with the 
flowers in my hand I
 F                 C        F
 walked toward her gate someone 
              C
touched me on the arm and

 G                   C
 said you'll have to wait Then I 
noticed there were people
F             C
standing in a line some of them were
 holdin pretty flowers
          G    C                  
just like mine they explained that
               F
 Suzi had been in an
       C     F                 C 
 awful crash doctors said that 
             G
she had just a little while
    C                           
 to last. When I walked into her 
        F
room I felt a sense of
C                                 
shame but I heard Suzi whisper I'm
                  G
 awfully glad you came
C                           F    
she had been the girl I had often
         C       F
 gone to see whn someone
        C             G           
 that I cared for had been untrue 
   C
to me. I handed her the
                 F                
 flowers and she gently kissed my 
C        F
hand she said don't be
C                           G     
embarrassed you know I understand I 
C
said goodbye and as I
         F               C      F
 bent to kiss her fevered brow I 
                 C
heard her whisper thank
             G             C
 you for the second handed flowers.
