Belle and Sebastian – Sukie In The Graveyard (Guitar)

G
Sukie was the kid, she liked to hang out in the graveyard

G
She did brass rubbings, she learned you never had to press hard

             Em                           G
When she was finished hanging out she was all alone

    C                            C7
She decided that she better check in at home

             Em                    G
There was an awful row between her mum and dad

              C                     C7
They said she hadn't done this, she hadn't done that

       C         G                 C        G
If she wanted to remain inside the family home

       C               G                  C          G
She'd have to tow the line, she'd have to give it a go

    C          G
It didn't suit Sukie

    C        G           D
She took her things and left

G
Sukie was the kid, she liked to hang out at the art school

G
She didn't enrol, but she wiped the floor with all the arseholes

           Em                     G
She took a bijou flat with the fraternity cat

        C                           C7
And she hid inside the attic of the sculpture building

    C          G             C        G
She had a slut slave and his name was Dave

          C           G              C        G
She said "Be my photo bitch and I'll make you rich"

   C        G                 C     G
He didn't believe her but the boy revered her

   C                 G
He got her meals, he got her a bed

   C                  G              C          G
He watched behind the screen and she started to undress

   C         G
He never got far

     C           G
Just lookin' and playing guitar

G
Autumn hanging down all the trees are draped like chandeliers

G
Now Sukie saw the beauty but she wasn't wet behind the ears

           Em            G
She had an A1 body and a face to match

                C                      C7
She didn't have money, she didn't have cash

         C                         G
With the winter coming on, and the attic cold

           C                     G
She had to press her nose on the refectory wall

     C                            G
They served steamed puddings, she went without

           C        G                C           G
She had to pose for life for all the scholars of art

    C           G          C           G
She didn't feel funny, she didn't feel bad

C                 G
Peeling away everything she had

            C           G    C         G
She had the grace of an eel, sleek and stark

       C              G             C           G
As the shadows played tricks on the girl in the dark

G
Dark
