[Intro] C G F C x2 [Verse 1]
C                   G
Well, when you're sitting there

        F                C
In your silk upholstered chair

C               G                   F       C
Talking to some rich folks that you know

       C                  G
Well I hope you won't see me

      F      C
In my ragged company

    C            G          F      C
You know I could never be alone
[Chorus]
       G                          C
Take me down little susie, take me down

G                                             C
I know you think you're the queen of the underground

            F                          C
And you can send me dead flowers every morning

Send me dead flowers to my wedding

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

        F                C
In your rose pink cadillac

C               G                   F       C
Making bets on kentucky derby day

C                   G
I'll be in my basement room

  F                C
With a needle and a spoon

C               G                   F       C
And another girl to take my pain away
[Chorus]
        G                          C
Take me down little susie, take me down

G                                             C
