Chords

[Intro] D A G x4 [Verse 1]
D                         A
Well, when you're sitting there

        G                D
In your silk upholstered chair

                  A                  G     D
Talking with some rich folk that you know

D                          A
Well, I hope you won't see me

      G         D
In my ragged company

                                A            G    D
'Cause you know I couldn't ever stand to be alone
[Chorus]
D       A                          D
Take me down, little Susie, take me down

A                                            D
I know you think you're the queen of the underground

            G                          D
And you can send me dead flowers every morning

G                           D
Send me dead flowers by the mail

G                          D
Send me dead flowers to my wedding

                          A             G     D
And I won't forget to put roses on your grave
[Verse 2]
D                         A
Well, when you're sitting back

        G                 D
In your rose pink Cadillac

              A               G    D
Making bets on Kentucky Derby Day

D                      A
I'll be in my basement room

       G            D
With a needle and a spoon

D                   A            G     D
And another girl to take my pain away
[Chorus]
D       A                           D
Take me down, little Susie, take me down

A                                            D
I know you think you're the queen of the underground

            G                          D
And you can send me dead flowers every morning

G                           D
Send me dead flowers by the mail

G                          D
Send me dead flowers at my wedding

                          A             G      D
And I won't forget to put roses on your grave
[Solo] [Chorus]
D       A                           D
Take me down, little Susie, take me down

A                                             D
I know you think you're the queen of the underground

            G                          D
And you can send me dead flowers every morning

G                              D
Send me dead flowers by the US mail

G                              D
Say it with dead flowers at my wedding

                          A             G      D
And I won't forget to put roses on your grave

                          A             G      D
No, I won't forget to put roses on your grave
[Outro] D A G (cycle as desired)
