Dead Flowers (Townes Van Zandt version)

submitted by Minh

He misses one of the lines (on purpose?), but it's still a great performance. (Note: cover of a Rolling Stones song.)

Chords used: G-F-C



Intro: G F C

[C]Well, when you’re sitting [G]there
In your [F]silk upholstered [C]chair
Talking to some [G]rich folks that you [F]know [C]
Well I hope you won’t see [G]me
In my [F]ragged compa[C]ny
You [C]know I could [G]never be a[F]lone [C]

Take me [G]down little susie, take me [C]down
[G]I know you think you’re the queen of the under[C]ground
And you can [F]send me dead flowers every mor[C]ning
[F]Send me dead flowers by the [C]mail
[F]Send me dead flowers to my wedd[C]ing
And I [C]won’t forget to put [G]roses on your [F]grave [C]

[C]Well, when you’re sitting [G]back
In your [F]rose pink cadi[C]llac
Making bets on [G]kentucky derby [F]day [C]
I’ll be in my basement [G]room
With a [F]needle and a [C]spoon
And [C]another girl to [G]take my pain [F]away [C]

Take me [G]down little susie, take me [C]down
[G]I know you think you’re the queen of the under[C]ground
And you can [F]send me dead flowers every morn[C]ing
[F]Send me dead flowers by the [C]mail
[F]Send me dead flowers to my wedd[C]ing
And I [C]won’t forget to put [G]roses on your [F]grave [C]
And I [C]won’t forget to put [G]roses on your [F]grave [C]
