INTRO 
Em 

G 
Sue, I got the job 
              A7(b5) 
We'll buy the house 
               G 
You'll need to rest 
                     Em 
But now we'll make it 

G 
Sue, the clinic called 
            A7(b5) 
The x-ray's fine 
              G 
I brought you home,  
                Em 
I just said home 
Em 

Em 
 Sue, you said you wanted written 
Sue the virgin on your stone 
              G 
For your grave 
Em 
 Why too dark to speak the words? 
'Fore I know that you have a son 
              G 
Oh, folly, Sue. 
Em 

G 
 Ride the train, I'm far from home 
Em 
 In a season of crime none need atone,  
I kissed your face!  
G 
 Sue, I pushed you down beneath the weeds,  
A7               Cm 
Endless faith in hopeless deeds,  
G 
 I kissed your face!  
I touched your face!  

Eb 
Sue, goodbye!

G 
 Sue, I found your note 
That you wrote last night 
C 
 It can't be right 
You went with him 
G 
 Sue, I never dreamed 
I'm such a fool 
C 
 Right from the start 
G 
 You went with that clown. 

G 
 breakdown...
