Introduction: Am E7/A
Am Dm7 Am/E
Somebody killed Little Susie
E7 F
The girl with the tune
E7
Who sings in the daytime at noon
Am Dm7
She was there screaming
Am/E E7 F
Beating her voice in her doom
E7
But nobody came to her soon
Am Dm7
A fall down the stairs
Am/E
Her dress torn
E7 F
Oh, the blood in her hair
E7
A mystery so sullen in air
Am E7
She lie there so tenderly
C6 Dm
Fashioned so slenderly
Am Dm7
Lift her with care
E7 Am
Oh, the blood in her hair
Am Dm7 Am/E
Everyone came to see
E7 F
The girl that now is dead
E7
So blind stare the eyes in her head
Am Dm7 Am/E
And suddenly a voice from the crowd said
E7 F
This girl lived in vain
E7
Her face bear such agony, such strain
Am Dm7 Am/E
But only the man from next door
E7 F
Knew Little Susie, now he cried
As he reached down
E7
To close Susie's eyes
Am E7
She lie there so tenderly
C6 Dm
Fashioned so slenderly
Am Dm7
Lift her with care
E7 Am
Oh, the blood in her hair~
Dm7 Gm6
It was all for God's sake
Gm6 A
For her singing the tune
Gm A
For someone to feel her despair
Dm7 Gm6
To be damned to know hoping is dead
A
And you're doomed
Gm
Then to scream out
E
And nobody's there
She knew no one cared
Am Dm7
Father left home
Am/E
Poor mother died
E7 F
Leaving Susie alone
E7
Grandfather's soul too had flown
Am Dm7
No one to care
Am/E
Just to love her
E7 F
How much can one bear
E7
Neglecting the needs in her prayers
Am Dm7
Neglection can kill
Am/E E7
Like a knife in your soul
F
Oh, it will
E7
Little Susie fought so hard to live
Am E7
She lie there so tenderly
C6 Dm
Fashioned so slenderly
Am Dm7
Lift her with care
E7 Am
So young and so fair
