Gordon Lightfoot - On Susans Floor Ukulele

CAPO: 2nd Fret



[INTRO:] F

[VERSE 1:]
                              G
Like crippled ships that made it
          F                 C               G
Through a storm and finally reached a quiet shore
                                     C
The homeless found a home on Susan's floor


[VERSE 2:]

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
                                    C
Then falling warm asleep on Susan's floor


[VERSE 3:]

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


[BRIDGE:]
       F              G
In the morning I'd go on
       F                Em   Dm C
Buying kingdoms with my songs
                             G
Knowing I'd be back in just awhile
                               C     Cadd9 F G
Warming in the sunlight of her smile


[INSTRUMENTAL:] C          G    F  C  F  C  G    Dm7  G  C Cadd9 F G


[VERSE 4:]
      C
Well, lots of time and songs have passed

I catch myself just looking back
                                 G
Reliving all the wonder of those nights
       F              C
That's where I'd be today
   F          C                G
If I had only stayed one night more
                             C
Sang another song on Susan's floor


[VERSE 5:]
     F                        G
Like crippled ships that made it
          F                 C               G
Through a storm and finally reached a quiet shore
    Dm7              G               C
The homeless found a home on Susan's floor


[OUTRO:] F  G   F  C   F  Em   Dm7  C
