John Mellencamp – Suzanne And The Jewels (Guitar)

Bm
Suzanne was the jewel keeper

     A                     E
In a word she stole all the jewels

Bm
And she took them to a foreign land

    A                      E
Which was strictly against all the rules

D
And she wore them all proudly

A
Like a tiara crown on her head

E
She slept with them at night

A
Suzanne and the jewels in a bed

Bm
Suzanne and her jewels

A
Livin' on the edge of a friend

E
Suzanne, how will you sleep at night

A                                    Bm
When they take that crown from your head?

Bm
Suzanne lived down by the river

     A                    E
The fountain of youth did flow

Bm
And she played on a steel guitar

   A                          E
And the drifters did come and they'd go

D
And she'd put on her crown

A
And she'd sing them a song

E
And some drifters would stay here the night

A
But they never did stay long

Bm
Suzanne and her jewels

A
Livin' on the edge of a friend

E
Suzanne, how will you sleep at night

A                            Bm
When they take that crown from your head?

Bm
This girl, she flew on the wind

    A                         E
She wrote her own name in the stars

Bm
Just goes to show sometimes you win

   A                    E
No matter how crazy you are

D
But a thief can come knocking

A
Even with blood on the door

E
And drink up your fountain of youth

A
And throw your jewels and your

             Bm
crown on the floor

Bm
Suzanne and her jewels

A
Livin' on the edge of a friend

E
Suzanne, how will you sleep at night

A                            Bm
When they take that crown from your head?
