SUE (OR IN A SEASON OF CRIME) - DAVID BOWIE

** Each chord is met with a heavy backing

INTRO

Sue, I got the job

A7(b5)

We'll buy the house

You'll need to rest

But now we'll make it

Sue, the clinic called

A7(b5)

The x-ray's fine

I brought you home,

I just said home

Sue, you said you wanted written

Sue the virgin on your stone

For your grave

Why too dark to speak the words?

'Fore I know that you have a son

Oh, folly, Sue.

Ride the train, I'm far from home

In a season of crime none need atone,

I kissed your face!

Sue, I pushed you down beneath the weeds,

A7 Cm

Endless faith in hopeless deeds,

I kissed your face!

I touched your face!

Sue, goodbye!

G5 Ab5 A5 Bb5 B5

Sue, I found your note

That you wrote last night

It can't be right

You went with him

Sue, I never dreamed

I'm such a fool

Right from the start

You went with that clown.
