Little Susie by Michael Jackson


Verse 1:                Am      Dm       Am       Somebody killed Little Susie       E         F
The girl with the tune
E
Who sings in the daytime at noon     Am         Dm
She was there screaming          Am       E          F     Beating her voice in her doom       E
But nobody came to her soon        Am        Dm
A fall down the stairs         Am            E       F
Her dress torn, oh, the blood in her hair   E
A mystery so sullen in air


Chorus:                     Am       E
She lies there so tenderly            Am         Dm           Fashioned so slenderly            Am        Dm
Lift her with care                E                        Oh, the blood in her hair

Verse 2:                Am     Dm    Am
Everyone came to see               E        F
The girl that now is dead.
E
So blind stare the eyes in her head.  Am      Dm         Am
And suddenly a voice from the crowd said,  E         F
“This girl lived in vain.
E
Her face bear such agony, such strain.”   Am    Dm         Am
But only the man from next door      E            F
Knew Little Susie and oh he cried,     E                        As he reached down to close Susie’s eyes.

                      Chorus:                     Am       E
She lies there so tenderly            Am         Dm           Fashioned so slenderly            Am        Dm
Lift her with care                E                        Oh, the blood in her hair


Bridge:                     Dm       Bb
It was all for God's sake            Gm      A
For her singing the tune          Bb               A
For someone to feel her despair     Dm           Bb
To be damned to know hoping
Gm           A
is dead, and you're doomed        Bb          E
Then to scream out and nobody's there
She knew no one cared.


Verse 3:                 Am      Dm      Am       Father left home, poor mother died        E      F
Leaving Susie alone
E
Grandfather's soul too had flown.     Am      Dm       Am
No one to care, just to love her.        E           F
How much can one bear?
E
Rejecting the needs in her prayers.     Am          Dm
Neglection can kill,             Am        E               Like a knife in your soul,      F                 E
Oh it will. But Susie fought so hard to live.

                Chorus:                     Am       E
She lies there so tenderly            Am         Dm           Fashioned so slenderly            Am        Dm
Lift her with care           E                        So young and so fair
