Intro:  / D - - - / A - - - / G - - - / D - - - /

 

       D                      A         G                    D

Well when you're sitting 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

Well, you know I could never be alone

 

Chorus:

         A (2)                      D (2)

Take me down little Susie, take me down

A (2)                                                D (2)

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

           G (2)                        D (2)

And you can send me dead flowers every morning

G (2)                           D (2)

   Send me dead flowers by the mail

G (2)                          D (2)

   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

Ah, I'll be in my basement room with a needle and a spoon

      D              A                G   D

And another girl to take my pain away

 

Chorus

Take me down little Susie, take me down

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

           G (2)                        D (2)

And you can send me dead flowers every morning

 G (2)                            D (2)

Send me dead flowers by the U.S. mail

G (2)                           D (2)

Say it with dead flowers to my wedding

       D                   A              G    D

And I won't forget to put roses on your grave

No, I won't forget to put roses on your grave
