Susan When She Tried
--------------------

Standard tuning.

    Intro:  C

          C              G                F
    I got over Charlotte Thompson, Goldie Johnson,
    G                 C
    Lord they done me wrong
              C               G
    I took it hard with Peggy Harper
                F            G           C
    She hurt me bad, oh lord but not for long
                 C       G
    There's just one I remember
             F    G            C
    Makes me feel funny down inside
                  C                G
    I'd trade 'em all for just one hour
      (F)(E) (D)   G7  C         <-- F, E and D are bass notes played on
    Of Su-san when she tried         the 4th string D||--3--2--0--||
                                     If you want you can play the folowing
                                     chords instead: F, Em, Dm

               C
    No there's never been a woman
              F       G      C
    Who could make me weak inside
        C
    And give me what I needed
        (F)(E) (D)   G7  C
    Like Su-san when she tried


            C            G
    It gets worse in the summer
             F     G            C
    When the nights are hot and long
             C        G
    And it's bad in December
              F          G         C
    When they play those Christmas songs
              C                  G
    So if you ask me and I don't tell you
             F           G         C
    Bet your sweet bottom dollar I lied
                   C              G
    'Cause there's never been one better
        (F)(E) (D)   G7  C
    Than Susan when she tried


               C
    No there's never been a woman
              F       G      C
    Who could make me weak inside
        C
    And give me what I needed
        (F)(E) (D)   G7  C
    Like Su-san when she tried


               C
    No there's never been a woman       <---- Begin fade out....
              F       G      C
    Who could make me weak inside
        C
    And give me what I needed
        (F)(E) (D)   G7  C
    Like Su-san when she tried
