On Susan's Floor
As Waylon Jennings played it (YouTube)
Written by Shel Silverstein and Vincent Matthews
Drop D tunning
D G A7
Like crippled ships that made it
G D A7
Through the storms and finally reached a quiet shore
Em A7 D
The homeless found a home on Susan's floor
Well now that my song is sweeter It seams the band should greet her
A7
And thank her for the favors that she gave
G D G D A7
strangers we came with our heads bowed in the rain to her door
Em A7 D
I sat and sang our songs on Susan's floor
I didn't feel so cold and tired stretched out before her fire
A7
Rolling smokes and drinking up her wine
G D G D
I remember candle light and singing till we could not sing no
A7
more
Em A7 D
And falling warm asleep on Susan's floor
G A7
In the morning we go on
G D A7
Buying kingdoms with our songs knowing we be back in just a while
Em A7 D
Healing in the sunshine of her smile
Now that time and songs have passed older I start looking back
A7
Reliving all the days and all the nights
G D G D A7
I wander where I'd be today if I had only stayed one night more
Em A7 D
And sang another song on Susan's floor
Note:
I think Waylon plays G in verses X20033 and in the bridge 550033
