[Am][G][D][Am][G][D]
[Am]

[Verse 1]
Suzanne was [G]the jew
el keeper
In [D]a word she stole all the jew[Am]els
And she took them to a for[G]eign land
Which [D]was strictly against all the [Am]rules[F]
And she wore them [C]all proudly
Like [G]a tiara crown on [Am]her head
She slept with [G]them at night
Suzan[D]ne and the jewels in a bed
[Am]

[Verse 2]
[F][Chorus:]
Suzanne and her jew[C]els
[G]Livin' on the edge of a friend
[Am]Suzanne, how will you [G]sleep at night
When they take that [D]crown from your

[Interlude 1]
head?
[Am][G][D][Am][G]
[D][Am]

[Verse 3]
Suzanne lived [G]down by the river
[D]The fountain of youth did [Am]flow
And she played on [G]a steel guitar
And [D]the drifters did come
and [Am]they'd go
[F]And she'd put on her[C] crown
[G]And she'd sing them a song
[Am]And some drifters would stay
[G]here the night
But [D]they never did stay long

[Verse 4]
[Chorus:] This girl [G]flew
on the wind
She [D]wrote her own name in [Am]the stars
Just goes to show [G]some
times you win
[D]No matter how crazy you [Am]are[F]
But a thief can come knock[C]ing
[G]Even with blood on the door
[Am]And drink up your fountain[G] of youth
And throw your jew[D]els and your crown
on [Am]the floor[F]
