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 away
G/D G C
And he calls her back, she comes.
C Dm7 Em Eb
If there's a next time, he's okay
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:
She loves to ride in big parades.
But he wouldn't so she won't.
She needs at least a dozen maids.
But if he says no she don't.
CHORUS:
He wishes she knew his side.
Soon there'll be trouble brewin' I'd
bet he says nothin' doin'
I-I-I-I I'd call it suicide.
BRIDGE:
C C/E F G7
Suicide, she's commitin' it
C C/E F G7
Suicide, he's not gettin' it
C C/E F G7 C
Suicide, it's a quittin' a day.
(INSTRUMENTAL VERSE W/WORDLESS VOCAL)
CHORUS:
She limps along to his side
Singing a song of ruin. I'd
bet he says nothin' doin'.
I-I-I-I I'd call it suicide.
OUTRO:
Suicide, she's commitin' it
Suicide, he's not gettin' it
Suicide, it's a quittin' a day.
