Verse 1:
C          G
Well, when you're sitting there
    F        C
In your silk upholstered chair
C        G          F    C
Talking to some rich folks that you know
    C         G
Well I hope you won't see me
   F   C
In my ragged company
  C      G     F   C
You know I could never be alone

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


Verse 2:
C          G
Well, when you're sitting back
    F        C
In your rose pink cadillac
C        G          F    C
Making bets on kentucky derby day
C          G
I'll be in my basement room
 F        C
With a needle and a spoon
C        G          F    C
And another girl to take my pain away


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