SusCannah is a C chord
BeFhind a gentle beat
She hCas a kind of sadness
She's sGimple and she's sweet
And while we're Cout in other towns 
Trying to mFake these strangers weep
AmShe's holding it dGown, she's not pretFendingC  
She's not pretAmending that she'll change the world
Or the Gway that others think
She's Cholding it down in her home town
And she's Fpouring the perfect drink
She's not Amprepared to stay forever
She's just not sGaying when she'll go
But Cone day you'll get to Gainsville
She won't be Fthere and then you'll know
SusCannah is a C chord
BehiFnd a gentle beat
She hCas a kind of sadness
She's siGmple and she's sweet
And while we're oCut in other towns 
Trying to mFake these strangers weep
AmShe's holding it dGown, she's not pretFendingC  
AmShe's holding it dGown, she's not pretCending

Susannah is a C chord

Behind a gentle beat

She has a kind of sadness

She's simple and she's sweet

And while we're out in other towns

Trying to make these strangers weep

Am G F C

She's holding it down, she's not pretending

She's not pretending that she'll change the world

Or the way that others think

She's holding it down in her home town

And she's pouring the perfect drink

She's not prepared to stay forever

She's just not saying when she'll go

But one day you'll get to Gainsville

She won't be there and then you'll know

Susannah is a C chord

Behind a gentle beat

She has a kind of sadness

She's simple and she's sweet

And while we're out in other towns

Trying to make these strangers weep

Am G F C

She's holding it down, she's not pretending

Am G C

She's holding it down, she's not pretending
