Little Susie chords by Michael Jackson (Ver. 2)

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
