[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
F C
Send me dead flowers by the mail
F C
Send me dead flowers to my wedding
C G F C
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
I know you think you're the queen of the underground
F C
And you can send me dead flowers every morning
F C
Send me dead flowers by the mail
F C
Send me dead flowers to my wedding
C G F C
And I won't forget to put roses on your grave
[Solo]

after the lyric send me dead flowers to my wedding I like to ladder down (A |--3--2--1--0--|) and play and Am chord and then switch back to playing normal, just something I think sounds good
