Little Susie Chords

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
