INTRO:
G9
Girls it's been my pleasure
C C6 G/B Am
To know quite a lot of you
Dm
And in the main
G9 C
You're pretty sane, it's true
Am Dm7
But there are a few who do to
G9 C
doo ti doo too beautiful a job
Ddim7 C
It isn't quite what they planned
Ddim7 G7 C
When the man gets the upper hand
Ddim7 C
He's takin' her for a ride
Ddim7 G7 C
I'd call it suicide
VERSE:
C Dm7 Em Eb
If when she tries to run a - way
G/D G C
And he calls her back, she comes
C Dm7 Em Eb
If there's a next time, he's o - kay
G/D G C
Cause she's under both his thumbs
CHORUS:
Em Eb
She limps along to his side
Dm7 G
Singing a song of ruin, I'd
C C/E F
bet he says nothin' doin'
C Em Eb Dm G C
I-I-I-I I'd call it suicide
VERSE:
C Dm7 Em Eb
She loves to ride in big parades.
G/D G C
But he wouldn't so she won't.
C Dm7 Em Eb
She needs at least a dozen maids.
G/D G C
But if he says no she don't.
CHORUS:
Em Eb
He wishes she knew his side.
Dm7 G
Soon there'll be trouble brewin' I'd
C C/E F
bet he says nothin' doin'
C Em Eb Dm G C
I-I-I-I I'd call it suicide
