Gordon Lightfoot - On Susan's Floor
CAPO: 2nd Fret
[INTRO:] F
[VERSE 1:]
G
Like crippled ships that made it
F C G
Through a storm and finally reached a quiet shore
C
The homeless found a home on Susan's floor
[VERSE 2:]
Didn't feel so cold and tired
Stretched out before her fire
G
Rolling smokes and drinking up her wine
F C
And I remember candlelight
F C G
And singing 'til we could not sing no more
C
Then falling warm asleep on Susan's floor
[VERSE 3:]
Well, now that my song is sweeter
I think I'd like to greet her
G
And thank her for the favours that she gave
F C
A stranger I came
F C G
My head bowed in the rain to her door
C
I sat and sang my songs on Susan's floor
[BRIDGE:]
F G
In the morning I'd go on
F Em Dm C
Buying kingdoms with my songs
G
Knowing I'd be back in just awhile
C Cadd9 F G
Warming in the sunlight of her smile
[INSTRUMENTAL:] C G F C F C G Dm7 G C Cadd9 F G
[VERSE 4:]
C
Well, lots of time and songs have passed
I catch myself just looking back
G
Reliving all the wonder of those nights
F C
That's where I'd be today
F C G
If I had only stayed one night more
C
Sang another song on Susan's floor
[VERSE 5:]
F G
Like crippled ships that made it
F C G
Through a storm and finally reached a quiet shore
Dm7 G C
The homeless found a home on Susan's floor
[OUTRO:] F G F C F Em Dm7 C
