 C   E7   Am    F    A#        C
Lonesome Suzie never got the breaks
C     E7  Am       G
She's always losing and
so she sits and cries and shakes
C     E7   Am              F  A#      C
It's hard just to watch her and if I touch her
D#   A#  C  Am  G                       C
Oh, poor Suzie,  I'm wondering what to do

She just sits there
Hoping for a friend
I don't fit here
But I may have a friend to lend
Maybe I mistook her
But I can't overlook her
Must be someone
Who can pull her through

C  E7    Am               F
Anyone who's felt that bad
            A#         C
could tell me what to say
C  E7    Am             G
Even if she just got mad
                              C
she might be better off that way
C     E7     Am
And where is all the understanding?
F        A#         C
Her problems can't be that demanding
D#  A#      C       Am
Why is it she looks my way
G                          C
Every time she starts to cry

Lonesome Suzie
I can't watch you cry no longer
If you can use me
Until you feel a little stronger
I guess just watching you
Has made me lonesome too
Why don't we get together?
What else can we do?
