Standard (EADGBE)

Susannah is a C chord

 Behind a gentle beat

 She has a kind of sadness

 She's simple and she's sweet

 And while we're out in other towns

 Trying to make these strangers weep

She's holding it down, she's not pretending

 She's not pretending that she'll change the world

 Or the way that others think

 She's holding it down in her home town

 And she's pouring the perfect drink

 She's not prepared to stay forever

 She's just not saying when she'll go

 But one day you'll get to Gainsville

 She won't be there and then you'll know

 Susannah is a C chord

 Behind a gentle beat

 She has a kind of sadness

 She's simple and she's sweet

 And while we're out in other towns

 Trying to make these strangers weep

She's holding it down, she's not pretending

She's holding it down, she's not pretending
