Song: Dead Flowers
Artist: Rolling Stones
Album: Sticky Fingers
Tabbed By: Michael MacMillan
Here's a great and easy strum-along song by the Stones. It's essentially
three chords throughout the whole song and it has a country feel to it.
 
[Intro]
Dsus2 D  A  G  D
 
[Verse 1]
D                         A              G                 D
Well, when you're sittin' there, in your silk upholstered chair
D               A                  G       D
Talkin' 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
cause you know I could never be alone
 
[Pre-chorus]
         A                          D
Take me down little Suzie, take me down
  A                                           D
I know you think you're the queen of the underground
 
[Chorus]
        G                              D    Dsus4 D Dsus2
You can send me dead flowers every morning
G                           D Dsus4 D Dsus2
Send me dead flowers by the mail
G                          D Dsus4 D Dsus2
Send me dead flowers at my wedding
      D                    A            G     D
And I won't forget to put roses on your grave
 
[Verse 2]
D                         A                 G        D
Well, when you're sittin' back in your rose pink Cadillac
D              A              G      D
Makin' bets on Kentucky Derby day
D                            A           G            D
Well, 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
 
[Pre-chorus]
        A                           D
Take me down little Suzie, take me down
  A                                           D
I know you think you're the queen of the underground
 
[Chorus]
            G                              D  Dsus4 D Dsus2
And you can send me dead flowers every morning
G                           D  Dsus4 D Dsus2
Send me dead flowers by the mail
G                           D  Dsus4 D Dsus2
Send me dead flowers to my wedding
      D                   A             G     D
And I won't forget to put roses on your grave
 
[Solo]
 
[Pre-chorus]
        A                           D
Take me down little Suzie, take me down
  A                                            D
I know you think you're the queen of the underground
 
[Chorus]
             G                          D
And you can send me dead flowers every morning
G                                D
Send me dead flowers by the U.S. mail
G                               D
Say it with dead flowers at my wedding
      D                   A              G
And I won't forget to put roses on your grave
      D                   A              G      D
No, I won't forget to put roses on your grave

Good work, but I think it stays on D or D-related chords on "I won't forget" -- G doesn't sound quite right, although I don't have the record here.

Courchesne
Good job man

That's right bookstorecowboy, it should be D - A - G - D at the end of the chorus. I'm not quite sure of the lyrics either actually, but this does it :-)
