Michael Jackson – Little Susie (Guitar)

Am         Dm           Am
Somebody killed Little Susie

     E             F
The girl with the tune

                  E
Who sings in the daytime at noon

Am                Dm
She was there screaming

Am            E            F
Beating her voice in her doom

            E
But nobody came to her soon

   Am              Dm 
A fall down the stairs

      Am                 E            F
Her dress torn, oh, the blood in her hair

              E
A mystery so sullen in air

     Am              E
She lies there so tenderly

Am               Dm
Fashioned so slenderly

Am             Dm
Lift her with care

          E
Oh, the blood in her hair

Am        Dm      Am
Everyone came to see

           E          F
The girl that now is dead

                   E             
So blind stare the eyes in her head...

     Am         Dm              Am
And suddenly a voice from the crowd said

      E            F
This girl lived in vain

                   E
Her face bear such agony, such strain...

    Am        Dm            Am
But only the man from next door

             E                 F
Knew Little Susie and how he cried

                        E
As he reached down to close Susie's eyes...

     Am           E
She lie there so tenderly

 Am            Dm
Fashioned so slenderly

 Am            Dm
Lift her with care

         E
Oh the blood in her hair...

       Dm            Bb
It was all for God's sake

          Gm         A
For her singing the tune

       Bb                  A
For someone to feel her despair

        Dm            Bb        Gm               A
To be damned to know hoping is dead, and you're doomed

          Bb                     E
Then to scream out and nobody's there

 Am          Dm         Am
Father left home, poor mother died

    E           F
Leaving Susie alone

               E
Grandfather's soul too had flown

 Am        Dm
No one to care

         Am           E            F
Just to love her how much can one bear

               E
Rejecting the needs in her prayers

    Am          Dm
Neglection can kill

         Am           E          F
Like a knife in your soul oh it will

                     E
Little Susie fought so hard to live

     Am           E
She lie there so tenderly

 Am            Dm
Fashioned so slenderly

 Am            Dm
Lift her with care

    E
So young and so fair
