Here's a more accessible posting of this nostalgic song (copy and paste into WORD/TIMES/12 for chord matching):

Dead Flowers

(As sung by Mick Jagger and the Rolling Stones)

D-------------------A--------------G------------------D
When your sittin' there in your silk upholstered chair,
-------------------A--------------------G/D
Talkin' to some rich folks that you know,
-------------------------A--------------G--------------D
I hope you won't see me in my rag-ged com-pa-ny,
-------------------------------A--------G/D
For you know, I could ne-ver be a-lone.

Chorus:

D------------A------------------------------D
So take me down, little Suzy, take me down,
--A-------------------------------------------------D
I know you think you're the queen of the un-derground;
----------------G--------------------------------D
And you can send me dead flowers every mornin',
G---------------------------------D
Send me dead flowers by the mail,
G--------------------------------------D
Send me dead flowers to my wed-din',
------------------------------A---------------G/D
And I won't forget to put roses on your grave.

When you're sittin' back in your rose-pink Cadillac,
Makin' bets on Kentucky Derby Day,
I'll be in my basement room, with a needle and a spoon,
And another girl to take my pain away. (CHO2X)

This was the favorite song of one of my old Michigan singing buddies by the name of Clover. Wonder what he's doing now?

Cheerily,
