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

Sue, the clinic called
The x-ray's fine
I brought you home,
I just said home

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.

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,
Endless faith in hopeless deeds,
I kissed your face!
I touched your face!

D#
Sue, goodbye!

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