D                         A
Well, when you're sitting there
        G                D
In your silk upholstered chair
                  A                  G     D
Talking with some rich folk that you know
D                          A
Well, I hope you won't see me
      G         D
In my ragged company
                                A            G    D
'Cause you know I couldn't ever stand to be alone


[Chorus]

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


[Verse 2]

D                         A
Well, when you're sitting back
        G                 D
In your rose pink Cadillac
              A               G    D
Making bets on Kentucky Derby Day
D                      A
I'll be in my basement room
       G            D
With a needle and a spoon
D                   A            G     D
And another girl to take my pain away


[Chorus]

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

[Solo]

[Chorus]

D       A                           D
Take me down, little Susie, take me down
A                                             D
I know you think you're the queen of the underground
            G                          D
And you can send me dead flowers every morning
G                              D
Send me dead flowers by the US mail
G                              D
Say it with dead flowers at my wedding
                          A             G      D
And I won't forget to put roses on your grave
                          A             G      D
No, I won't forget to put roses on your grave
