Key: A
Capo on 2nd fret
Em G
The crystal covered hall
Em G
Shining with the color of the dark
Em C
Reflections of her hair
D Em
Hanging long, flowing
C Em
With the wind he let in blowing
D C
Suzannah, sitting on the floor
D C
Counting all the seconds
Em
It would take to reach the door
The priestly man is lit
He knows that he's not it
The one she's waiting for
Maybe for forever
The one she thinks will save her
Suzannah, locking up so tight
All the tiny feelings
She would need to make her cry
C
You'll never be so strong
D
That you can carry all her world
C
You'll never stay so long
D
That you can mop up all the hurt
Em
Of Suzannah
A suddent urgent wail Bursting from a canary in pain Roof above them crumbling Closing in, falling Wind around the lovers blowing Suzannah, making her escape Taking nothing with her But her green and waxy cape
C
"I'm sorry" he will say
D
But he will not believe it
C
"I'm sorry too" she'll say
D
Neither one will mean it
Em
Suzannah
D Em
Suzannah
