Suicide
Paul McCartney
[Intro]
G9
Girls it's been my pleasure
   C            C6  G/B  Am
To know quite a lot of   you
    Dm
And in the main
       G9                C
You're pretty sane, it's true
          Am    Dm7
But there are a few who do dee do ti  do  do
G9  Dm7         C
too beautiful a job
Ddim7                      C
It    isn't quite what they planned
         Ddim7           G7    C
When the man    gets the upper hand
     Ddim7            C
He's takin' her for a ride
Ddim7        G7 C
I'd call it  suicide
[Verse]
C             Dm7      Em7        Eb7
  If when she tries to    run a - way
       Dm7       G7b5      C
And he calls her back, she comes
C              Dm7        Em7      Eb7
  If there's a next time, he's o - kay
            Dm7   G7b5     C
Cause she's under both his thumbs
[Pre-chorus]
Em7                 Eb7
   She limps along    to his side
Dm7               Gaug
Singing a song of ruin, I-I'd
[Chorus]
C           Em      F
bet he says nothin' doin'
        C  Em7 Ebm7 Dm7             G7b5 C
I-I-I-I-I               I'd call it sui--cide

[Verse]
C              Dm7     Em7     Eb7
  She loves to ride in     big parades
       Dm7      G7b5   C
But he wouldn't so she won't.
C              Dm7     Em7   Eb7
  She needs at least a dozen maids.
       Dm7       G7b5   C
But if he   says no she don't.
[Pre-chorus]
Em7               Eb7
   He wishes she    knew his side.
Dm7                      Gaug
Soon there'll be trouble brewin' I'd
[Chorus]
C           Em      F
bet he says nothin' doin'
        C   Em7 Ebm7 Dm7            G7b5 C
I-I-I-I-I               I'd call it sui--cide
