Little Susie accordi

Somebody killed Little Susie
     Mi             Fa
The girl with the tune
                  Mi
Who sings in the daytime at noon
Lam                Rem
She was there screaming
Lam            Mi            Fa
Beating her voice in her doom
            Mi
But nobody came to her soon


   Lam              Rem 
A fall down the stairs
      Lam                 Mi            Fa
Her dress torn, oh, the blood in her hair
              Mi
A mystery so sullen in air
     Lam              Mi
She lies there so tenderly
Lam               Rem
Fashioned so slenderly
Lam             Rem
Lift her with care
          Mi
Oh, the blood in her hair


Lam        Rem      Lam
Everyone came to see
           Mi          Fa
The girl that now is dead
                   Mi             
So blind stare the eyes in her head...
     Lam         Rem              Lam
And suddenly a voice from the crowd said
      Mi            Fa
This girl lived in vain
                   Mi
Her face bear such agony, such strain...


    Lam        Rem            Lam
But only the man from next door
             Mi                 Fa
Knew Little Susie and how he cried
                        Mi
As he reached down to close Susie's eyes...
     Lam           Mi
She lie there so tenderly
 Lam            Rem
Fashioned so slenderly
 Lam            Rem
Lift her with care
         Mi
Oh the blood in her hair...


       Rem            La#
It was all for God's sake
          Solm         La
For her singing the tune
       La#                  La
For someone to feel her despair
        Rem            La#        Solm   
To be damned to know hoping is dead,
            La
and you're doomed
          La#                     Mi
Then to scream out and nobody's there


She knew no one cared

 Lam          Rem         Lam
Father left home, poor mother died
    Mi           Fa
Leaving Susie alone
               Mi
Grandfather's soul too had flown
 Lam        Rem
No one to care
         Lam           Mi            Fa
Just to love her how much can one bear
               Mi
Rejecting the needs in her prayers


    Lam          Rem
Neglection can kill
         Lam           Mi          Fa
Like a knife in your soul oh it will
                     Mi
Little Susie fought so hard to live
     Lam           Mi
She lie there so tenderly
 Lam            Rem
Fashioned so slenderly
 Lam            Rem
Lift her with care
    Mi
So young and so fair
