When Susannah cries (1997)
G D
When Susannah cries, she cries a rainstorm,
Am G D
she cries a river, she cries a
hole in the ground.
G D
She cries for love, she cries a sad song,
Am G D
she cries a shiver, sometimes she
cries for me, too.
Am Em D
1. And I say I'll never hurt her, but she knows it isn't true,
Am Em D
'cause
although I never told her, I think she knows 'bout me and you.
Am - G D
Now she cries with silent
tension, this can't be right,
C D Am
D
and
the downtown special cries along 'cause I'm leaving tonight.
+ CHORUS
Am Em D
2. Now I slip the night around her, and I hope she'll be okay,
Am Em D
I just pray someone will find
her and guide her along her way,
Am - G D
'cause I'm leaving on the one
a.m., by soon I'm out of sight,
C D Am D G
but
she'll always be my baby though I'm leaving tonight.
+ G - D - Am - C

3. Every night I hear her talking in her sleep,
Am Em D
she
says you know I'll always be there and I feel like such a creep.
Am
Please, take back the love she
gave to me
G D
and
in time her grief may pass.
C D Am - D
Just tell her that I loved her,
now it's a……..ll

has, oho, hoo, hoo, when
Susannah cries.
