On Susan's Floor
Gordon Lightfoot / Shel Silverstein / Vince Matthews
transcribed: Jeremiah McCaw Budnark

     F                   G 
Like crippled ships that made it
           F                 C               G 
Through a  storm and finally reached a quiet shore
    Dm7              G7              C 
The homeless found a home on Susan's floor


 C 
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
     Dm7            G7               C 
Then falling warm a-sleep on Susan's floor


     C 
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
  C                                                  G 
 A stranger I came; my head bowed in the rain, to her door
  Dm7             G7               C 
I sat and sang my songs on Susan's floor


       F              G 
In the morning I'd go on
       F                Em   Dm7   C 
Buying kingdoms with my songs
                              G 
Knowing I'd be back in just a while
 Dm7            G7              C     F     G 
Warming in the sunlight of her smile


     C 
Well lots of time and songs have passed, I catch myself just looking back
                                 G 
Reliving all the wonder of those nights
       C                                                 G 
That's where I'd be today if I had only stayed one night more
    Dm7          G7              C 
And sang another song on Susan's floor


     F                   G 
Like crippled ships that made it
          F                 C               G 
Through a storm and finally reached a quiet shore
    Dm7              G7              C     F    G    F    C    F    Em    Dm7    C 
The homeless found a home on Susan's floor
