CHORUS: So take me down, little Suzy. Take me down.
When you’re sittin' back in your rose-pink Cadillac, Now I don't know exactly how the stones did it but I play it in the key of G. |

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, Charley Noble |

It originally followed "Sister Morphine" (which oddly enough is not a drug song, but about someone dying in agony after an accident). In its context on the Sticky Fingers album, the placing of this cheerful ditty about heroin abuse is in monumental bad taste. You have to be a Stones fan to like that sort of thing. And I am! |

Can't have those nasty drug references now, can we? Have nice day Bart |
