[Intro]
C G F C


[Verse]
C                    G
When you are sitting there,
          F               C
in your self-upholstered chair
C               G    
  Talking to some rich
               F      C
folk that you know
       C                  
  Well I hope you won't see
  G        F           C
me in my ragged company
C                G          F     C
you know I could never be alone


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


[Verse]
C                   G    
  When you're sitting back
         F              C
in your rose pink cadillac
C              G              F    C
Making bets on Kentucky Derby Day
          C                 G
Well I'll be in my basement room
       F              C
with a needle and a spoon
      C           
  And another heart
    G              F     C
to take my pain away


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

by the U. S. mail,

flowers at my wedding
