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
