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
