Little Susie Acordes

	  Intro: Am E7/A (4x) 

Am        Dm7          Am/E 
Somebody killed Little Susie 
     E7            F 
The girl with the tune 
                  E7sus      E7 
Who sings in the daytime at noon 
Am             Dm7 
She was there screaming 
Am/E         E7           F 
Beating her voice in her doom 
           E7sus        E7 
But nobody came to her soon 
Am               Dm7 
A fall down the stairs 
    Am/E 
Her dress torn 
         E7           F 
Oh, the blood in her hair 
             E7sus     E7 
A mystery so sullen in air 

Am                E7 
She lie there so tenderly 
C6            Dm 
Fashioned so slenderly 
Am            Dm7 
Lift her with care 
         E7           Am 
Oh, the blood in her hair 

( Am E7/A ) (4x) 

Am       Dm7     Am/E 
Everyone came to see 
          E7          F 
The girl that now is dead 
                   E7sus        E7 
So blind stare the eyes in her head 
Am              Dm7           Am/E 
And suddenly a voice from the crowd said 
      E7            F 
This girl lived in vain 
                   E7sus        E7 
Her face bear such agony, such strain 
Am           Dm7           Am/E 
But only the man from next door 
             E7            F 
Knew Little Susie, now he cried 
As he reached down 
   E7sus          E7 
To close Susie's eyes 

Am                E7 
She lie there so tenderly 
C6            Dm 
Fashioned so slenderly 
Am            Dm7 
Lift her with care 
         E7           Am 
Oh, the blood in her hair~ 

( Am E7/A ) (4x) 

       Dm7(9/11)     Gm6/Bb 
It was all for God's sake 
         Gm6         A 
For her singing the tune 
     Gm                  A 
For someone to feel her despair 
      Dm7(9/11)      Gm6/Bb    Gm6 
To be damned to know hoping is dead 
            A 
And you're doomed 
         Gm 
Then to scream out 
              E 
And nobody's there 
She knew no one cared 

Am          Dm7 
Father left home 
      Am/E 
Poor mother died 
E7             F 
Leaving Susie alone 
              E7sus         E7 
Grandfather's soul too had flown 
Am        Dm7 
No one to care 
        Am/E 
Just to love her 
     E7           F 
How much can one bear 
               E7sus         E7 
Neglecting the needs in her prayers 
Am             Dm7 
Neglection can kill 
       Am/E           E7 
Like a knife in your soul 
        F 
Oh, it will 
                    E7sus       E7 
Little Susie fought so hard to live 

Am                E7 
She lie there so tenderly 
C6            Dm 
Fashioned so slenderly 
Am            Dm7 
Lift her with care 
    E7           Am 
So young and so fair
