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
