C5
Susannah is a C chord
  F5
Behind a gentle beat
     C5
She has a kind of sadness
       G5
She's simple and she's sweet
                C5
And while we're out in other towns 
           F5
Trying to make these strangers weep
A5                G5                  F5      C5
She's holding it down, she's not pretending

              A5
She's not pretending that she'll change the world
       G5
Or the way that others think
      C5
She's holding it down in her home town
          F5
And she's pouring the perfect drink
          A5
She's not prepared to stay forever
                G5
She's just not saying when she'll go
    C5
But one day you'll get to Gainsville
             F5
She won't be there and then you'll know

   C5
Susannah is a C chord
    F5
Behind a gentle beat

She has a kind of sadness
        G5
She's simple and she's sweet
                 C5
And while we're out in other towns

Trying to make these strangers weep
A5                G5                  F5      C5
She's holding it down, she's not pretending
A5                G5                  C5
She's holding it down, she's not pretending
