Pretty simple song. Only note worth mentioning would be the walk-ups and walk-downs.
On the fat E string (so there's no confusion) on "cut out the lights" Walk down from A to G#m to F#m to E
(5 - 4 - 2 - 0) That's for the first line. Then basically the opposite as you go into the chorus.
The others walk down from A to G#m to F#m back to G#m  (5 - 4 - 2 - 4) ending on the G#m
 
Hope y'all enjoy.
 
 
 
 
 
A                            A     G#m    F#m   E
By God won't you please just cut   out    the   lights
 
 
[Verse]
 
E                                     B7
Suzanne won't you help me to draw the line
 
                                                E
Between floozy women and having cigarettes with wine
 
 
                                      B7
There seems to be no room here for my laughter
 
                                              E
But you never seemed to mind all those nights before

                 B7
But whatever you do
 
                          E
Won't you leave my candle burning
 
 
[Verse]
 
E                              B7
Working for nickel down at the armory
 
                               E
Trying to support my dime life style
 
                                       B7
The bossman telling me I better get it done
 
                                            E
What a way to treat the boy who's your only son

Count your money out on your own time
 
                                                              E
You stole somebody's heart my dear but it sure as hell wasn't mine
 
                                 B7
Pick your rags up off my bedroom floor
 
                                                    E
I done told you one time you're not welcome here no more
