(intro) D A G D
 
D A G D
Well, when you're sitting there in your silk upholstered chair,
D A G D
Talking to some rich folk that you know,
D A G D
Well I hope you won't see me in my ragged company,
D A G D
For you know I could never be alone.
 
A D
Take me down little Suzie, 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,
D A G D
And I won't forget to put roses on your grave.
 
D A G D
Well, when you're sitting back in your rose pink Cadillac,
D A G D
Making bets on Kentucky Derby day,
D A G D
I'll be in my basement room with a needle and a spoon,
D A G D
And another girl can take my pain away.
