1. Well, when you’re sitting there in your silk upholstered chair,

                              A                             G     - D

    talking to some rich folks that you know,

                                               A             G                    D

    well, I hope you won’t see me in my ragged company,

                                  A             G       - D

    you know I could never be alone.

 

                 A                                        D

Take me down Little Susie, take me down,

 I know you think you’re the queen of the underground.

    making bets on Kentucky Derby Day,

                                          A                 G                     D

    I’ll be in my basement room with a needle and a spoon,

                                   A                      G      - D

    and another girl to take my pain away.
