G Em
Black Eyed Suzy she works the corner
C D
out on the block on which she was raised
G Em
and I don't how but she finds some comfort
C D
up amongst the rubble and the Queen Ann's Lace
C D G G/F# Em
but nobody seemed to notice her beauty wither away
C D G
oh Black Eyed Suzy girl how much more can you take
G Em
we were lovers back when we were younger but
C D
we all know how that can go
G Em
it's like one day it's roses and the next it's over and
C D
nobody asks cause ain't nobody wants to know
C D G G/F# Em
as soon as find a place far away from this dirty heap
C D G
oh Black Eyed Suzy she's still losing ground to the heat
G Em C D (x2)
C
well now some may give into the wind
D G
they'll take a flight just to forget the pain
C
ah but Suzy she's dug in too deep
C
she knows she's been beat
D
but still she stands around and waits
D
ah but
G Em
as soon the season change it will bring the winter wind
C D
Suzy she'll try to fight it
G Em
it won't be long before the cold embrace
C D
of a long November will decide it
C D
what am I to do
G G/F# Em
ah what am I to say
C D G
I just watched from a distance as Suzy withers away
