Black Eyed Suzy she works the corner

 out on the block on which she was raised

 and I don't how but she finds some comfort

 up amongst the rubble and the Queen Ann's Lace

  [G/f#]

but nobody seemed to notice her beauty wither away

 oh Black Eyed Suzy girl how much more can you take

we were lovers back when we were younger but

we all know how that can go

 it's like one day it's roses and the next it's over and

nobody asks cause ain't nobody wants to know

  [G/f#]

as soon as find a place far away from this dirty heap

 oh Black Eyed Suzy she's still losing ground to the heat

well now some may give into the wind

 they'll take a flight just to forget the pain

 ah but Suzy she's dug in too deep

she knows she's been beat

 but still she stands around and waits

ah but

as soon the season change it will bring the winter wind

Suzy she'll try to fight it

it won't be long before the cold embrace

 of a long November will decide it

what am I to do

  [G/f#]

ah what am I to say

 I just watched from a distance as Suzy withers away
