CAPO III
Intro G G
Well my G daddy left home when I was three
And he C didn't leave much to ma and me
Just D this old guitar and an empty bottle of G booze
Now G I don't blame him cause he run and hid
But the C meanest thing that he ever did
Was be D fore he left, he went and named me G 'Sue'
Well he G must've thought that was quite a joke
And it C got a lot of laughs from a-lots of folks
It D seems I had to fight my whole life G through
Some G gal would giggle and I'd get red
And C some guy'd laugh and I'd bust his head
I D tell ya, life ain't easy for a boy named G 'Sue'
Well I G grew up quick and I grew up mean
My C fists got hard and my wits got keen
I'd D roam from town to town to hide my G shame
But I G made me a vow to the moon and stars
I'd C search the honky-tonks and bars
And D kill that man that gimme that awful G name
Well it was G Gatlinburg in mid-July
And I'd C just hit town and my throat was dry
I D thought I'd stop and have myself a G brew
At an G old saloon on a street of mud
C There at a table, dealing stud
D Sat the dirty, mangy dog that named me G 'Sue'
Well, I G knew that snake was my own sweet dad
From a C worn-out picture that my mother'd had
And I D knew that scar on his cheek and his evil G eye
He was G big and bent and gray and old
And I C looked at him and my blood ran cold
And I D said "My name is 'Sue!'
G How do you do? Now you gonna die!"
G (Yeah, that's what I told him)
Well I G hit him hard right between the eyes
And C he went down, but to my surprise
He D come up with a knife and cut off a piece of my G ear
But I G busted a chair right across his teeth
And we C crashed through the wall and into the street
D Kicking and a-gouging in the mud and the blood and the G beer
I G tell ya, I've fought tougher men
But I C really can't remember when
He D kicked like a mule and he bit like a croco G dile
I G heard him laugh and then I heard him cuss
He C went for his gun and I pulled mine first
He D stood there lookin' at me and I saw him G smile
And G he said "Son, this world is rough
And if a C man's gonna make it he's gotta be tough
And I D knew I wouldn't be there to help you G along
So I G give ya that name and I said goodbye
I C knew you'd have to get tough or die
And D it's the name that helped to make you G strong"
He said G "Now you just fought one hell of a fight
And I C know you hate me, and you got the right
To D kill me now, and I wouldn't blame you if you G do
But you G ought to thank me before I die
For the C gravel in yer guts and the spit in ya eye
Cause D I'm the son-of-a-bitch that named you G 'Sue'"
I got G all choked up and I threw down my gun
And I C called him my pa, and he called me his son,
And D I come away with a different point of G view
And I G think about him, now and then
Every C time I try and every time I win
(*No guitar*)And if I ever have a son,
I think I'm gonna name him
(*No guitar*)Bill or George, anything but Sue,
I still hate that name!
G (*No lyrics, just strumming out*)
