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
