[Verse 1]
[G]Sukie was the kid,
she liked to hangout in the graveyard
She did brass rubbings,
she learned you never had to press [D]hard
[G]When she [Em]fin ished hanging
out she was [G]all alone
She de[C]cided that she better
check in at home
There was an [Em]awful row between
her [G]mum and dad
They said she [C]hadn't done this,
she hadn't done that
If she wanted to re[G]main
inside the [C]family home
She'd have to tow the line,
[G]she'd have to [C]give it a go
[G]It did[C]n't suit Suk[G]ie
So she [C]took her thing[G]s and left
[D][G][C]
[G]

[Verse 2]
[G]Sukie was the kid,
she liked to hang out at the art school
[C]She did[G]n't enrol,
but she wiped the floor with all [D]the arseholes
She took a [Em]bijou flat
with the fra[G]ternity cat
She [C]hid inside the attic of the
sculpture building
She [Em]had a slut slave and his
[G]name was Dave
She said [C]'Be my photo bitch and
I'll make you rich'
He didn't believe her but the
boy revered her
He got [G]her meals and he [C]got her a bed
He watched behind the [G]screen
and she [C]started to undress
He never got [G]far
Just lookin' and playing [D]guitar

[Verse 3]
[G]Autumn hanging down all the trees
are draped like chandeliers
Sukie saw the beauty but she
wasn't wet behind the [D]ears
She had [Em]an A1 body and a f[G]ace to match
She [C]didn't have money,
she didn't have cash
With the [Em]winter coming on,
and the attic cold
[G]She had to [C]press her nose
on the refectory wall
They [Em]served steamed puddings
she [G]went without
She had to [C]pose for life for
all the scholars of art
She didn't feel [G]funny,
she [C]didn't feel [G]bad
[C]Peeling [G]away everything [C]she had
[G]She had the [C]grace of an [G]eel, [C]sleek and stark
[G]As the sha[C]dows played
[G]tricks on the girl in the dark
[D]

[Verse 4]
[G]Sukie was the kid, she liked to hangout
in the [C]graveyard
