The Kinks - Susannah's Still Alive: chords

     A          G              D
Oh, Suzannah's bedraggled but she
                 A                  G
Still wears the locket 'round her neck
A            G                D
She's got a picture on the table
      A                   G
Of a man who is young and able

Chorus:
D    A7               D          A7             D
Oh, Suzannah's gonna cry, oh, Suzannah's still alive
 G          D     G    D  A      G            D
Whiskey or gin, that's alright, wears nothing in
     G  D   A
her bed at night
      Bm
She sleeps with the covers down, hopin' that
 D
somebody
gets in
 Bm                                 D
Doesn't matter what she does, she knows
               A7
that she can't win
D      A7              G
Oh, Suzannah's gonna cry

She's got a doll with one eye
That always cries when it gets some sleep
She's waiting for a soldier to come home
But she'll cry and never die

Chorus:
Oh, Susannah's gonna cry
Oh, Susannah's still alive
Whiskey or a gin, that's alright
When there's nothing in her bed at night
She sleeps with the covers down
Hoping that somebody gets in
Doesn't matter what she does
She knows that she can't win
Oh, Susannah's still alive

Oh, Susannah's gonna cry
Oh, Susannah's still alive
Oh, Susannah's still alive
