[Intro 1]
[D][G][D][A][D]

[Verse 1]
[D]I was working
in Miami [G]for a day or [D]two
[G]I decided I'd[D] look up
a girl that I [A]once knew
I [D]bought some flowers and went
to see a [G]girl I used to [D]know
The [G]lady at her [D]door said she
had [A]married long [D]ago
Times will change and towns [G]will
change; there I was [D]alone
And [G]suddenly I [D]wondered,
"Would Susie be at [A]home?"
So [D]with the flowers in my hand,
[G]I walked toward her g[D]ate
[G]Someone touched me [D]on the arm and [A]said,
"You'll have [D]to wait."

[Verse 2]
[D]Then I noticed there were people
[G]standing in [D]a line
An[G]d some of them were [D]holding
pretty flowers just like [A]mine
[D]They explained that Susie had
[G]been in an awful [D]crash
[G]Doctors said that [D]she had just a [A]little
while to [D]last[G][D][A][D]
When I walked into her room,
[G]I felt a sense of s[D]hame
But [G]I heard Susie w[D]hisper,
"I'm awfully glad you [A]came."

[Verse 3]
[D]She had been the girl that I
had [G]always gone [D]to see
When [G]someone that I [D]cared for
[A]had been untrue [D]to me
I handed her the flowers and
[G]she gently kissed my [D]hand
She [G]said,
"Don't [D]be embarrassed; you know I understand."
[A]

[Verse 4]
I [D]said, "Goodbye" and as I
bent to [G]kiss her fevered [D]brow
I [G]heard her whisper,
[D]"Thank you for the [A]second handed [D]flowers."
