C               A#
Just yesterday morning,
             F                  C
They let me know that you were gone
              G/B                   A#
Suzanne, the plans they made put an end to you
C                  A#
I walked out this morning
        F              C
And I wrote down this song
                G/B           A#
I just can't remember who to send it to

Chorus:
F C/E      Dm      G     C
I've seen fire and I've seen rain
F C/E       Dm           G            C
Seen sunny days that I thought would never end
F     C/E    Dm     G     C
Seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
      A#     F/A              Gm        C
But I always thought that I'd see you again

Won't you look down upon me, Jesus
You've got to help me make a stand
You've just got to see me through another day
My body's aching and my time is at hand
And I won't make it any other way

Chorus

      C                     A#
Been walking my mind to an easy time
    F                       C
My back turned towards the sun
                    G/B
Lord knows when the cold wind blows
       A#
It'll turn your head around
               C                    A#
Well, there's hours of time on the telephone line
    F                    C
To talk about things to come
                  G/B
Sweet dreams and flying machines
    A#
In pieces on the ground

Chorus

Guess I always thought that I'd see you again
