Dead Flowers

Jagger/Richards

Well, [C]when you’re sitting [G]there
In your [F]silk upholstered [C]chair
[C]Talking to some [G]rich folks that you [F]know [C]
[C]Well I hope you won’t see [G]me
In my [F]ragged compa[C]ny
[C]You know I could [G]never be a [F]lone [C]

Take me [G]down little Susie, take me [C]down
[G]I know you think you’re the queen of the under[C]ground
[F]Send me dead flowers every [C]morning
[F]Send me dead flowers by the [C]mail
[F]Send me dead flowers to my [C]wedding
[C]And I won’t forget to put [G]roses on your [F]grave [C]

Solo: 1 verse

Well, [C]when you’re sitting [G]back
In your [F]rose pink Cadil[C]lac
[C]Making bets on [G]Kentucky derby [F]day [C]
[C]I’ll be in my basement [G]room
With a [F]needle and a [C]spoon
[C]And another girl to [G]take my pain [F]away [C]

Take me [G]down little Susie, take me [C]down
[G]I know you think you’re the queen of the [C]underground
[F]Send me dead flowers every [C]morning
[F]Send me dead flowers by the [C]mail
[F]Send me dead flowers to my [C]wedding
[C]And I wont forget to put [G]roses on your [F]grave [C]

Solo: 1 verse

Take me [G]down little Susie, take me [C]down
[G]I know you think you’re the queen of the [C]underground
[F]Send me dead flowers every [C]morning
[F]Send me dead flowers by the us [C]mail
[F]Send me dead flowers at my [C]wedding
[C]And I won’t forget to put [G]roses on your [F]grave [C]
[C]No I won’t forget to put [G]roses on your [F]grave [C]

Dead Skunk
(Loudon Wainwright III) Melody “Dead Flowers”

[D]Well he was crossing the highway [A]late last night
[G]Shoulda looked left
[D]shoulda looked right
[D]Didn’t see the station [A]wagon car
The [G]skunk got squashed and [D]there you are

[D]Dead skunk in the [A]middle of the road
[G]Dead skunk in the [D]middle of the road
[D]Dead skunk in the [A]middle of the road
And it’s [G]stinking to high [D]heaven

[D]Take a wiff on me that [A]ain’t no rose
[G]Roll up your windows, [D]hold your nose
[D]No need to hear a thing, ain’t no [A]need to see
[G]You can smell it clear [D]in the breeze

Dead skunk in the middle of the road
Dead skunk in the middle of the road
Dead skunk in the middle of the road
And it’s stinking the high heaven

Well you got your dead rats and you got your dead dogs
On a moonlight night you got your dead toad frogs
You got your dead rabbits and your dead racoons
The blood and the guts they’re gonna make you swoon

Dead skunk in the middle of the road
Dead skunk in the middle of the road
Dead skunk in the middle of the road
And it’s stinking the high heaven
