[Gm] Well, [E]
that's some old material.
I have a new song I [Em] want to sing for you.
In fact, it's so new that [N] the proverbial glue is [D#] still [E] wet.
[B] [A] [N] Or not dry.
And by that I mean the glue that's holding a piece of this guitar together.
This guitar is a Martin D28 guitar, a fine American product, manufactured down there in Nazareth, [A] Pennsylvania.
[E] And this [N] particular one just got out of the shop a few weeks ago.
I don't know if you can see it.
I mean, there's a couple of [E] dinks in this thing.
But this whole section was [B]
stoved in.
[N]
And here's how it all [D] happened.
Well, I wonder [G] how Suzy is [D] doing at [Bm] the airport in Old [D] Durango.
Does Suzy [G] still work [D] for the airlines?
[Bm] I pray one day they let [A] that bitch go.
[G]
Suzy's a big deal at [D] the airlines.
The [G] Durango [A] airport's pretty small.
[G] She checks in and [D] tags [G] and handles some [D] baggage.
[A] You could say that [D] Su does it all.
[G] [D] You could say that [A] bitch Su [D] does it all.
I flew into [G] Durango [D] from Denver.
[Bm] Where I'd ground checked my Martin [D] guitar.
Suzy [G]
took it off of [D] that aircraft.
[Bm] Threw it up on top of a [A] luggage car.
[G] From the airplane there [D] on the runway.
[G] Through the window I [A] witnessed it all.
My [G]
axe hit the [D] tarmac.
[A] [G] I swear I heard [D] her cry.
That old [A]
dreadnought took a [D] [A] dreadful [G] fall.
[Bm]
[G] My [D] guitar [A] took a [D] terrible fall.
[F#m] So inside I showed Suzy [G] the damage.
[D] Caused by her [A] negligent misdeed.
[F#m] She denied that it [G] even happened.
[D] Innocent was how Suzy [F#m] did [A] plead.
[G] When I implied [D] that she was a liar.
[G] That's when Suzy made up her [A] sick mind.
[G] Hell surely don't [D] have [G]
that bitch [D] Suzy's wrath.
She was gonna [A] kick my [D] ass big time.
[G] [D] That bitch [A] will kick [D] my ass big time.
Kick it.
[G]
[D] [A]
[Bm] [D]
Kick it again.

[D] The [A]
[Bm] [A] [D]
next day [G] I went back to [D] the airport.
My [Bm] old six string held [D] together with tape.
Suzy was [G] on duty [D] that morning.
From [Bm] that cold bitch I [A] could not escape.
She [G] said you can't take your guitar [D] to Texas.
[G] Because it's in a soft [A] leather case.
[G] Either [D] leave it behind [G] or a hard [D] case go find.
I swear Su [A] had a smile [D] on her [G] face.
[D] That bitch [F#m] had a smile on [D] her face.
And she showed [G] me a rule in a rule [D]
book.
Some [Bm] BS made up by the [D] FAA.
I had to leave [A] my [G] guitar [D] in Durango.
[Bm] Have it fixed back home [A] to LA.
[G] I borrowed an axe [D] down in Austin.
But [G] I swore I would right [A] Suzy's wrong.
[G] Lawyers [D] ain't cheap.
[G] I'm no [D] litigious creep.
So instead [A] I wrote [D] Suzy a [F#m] [G] song.
[Em]
[D] I wrote that [A] bitch Suzy [D] this song.
[F#m] Now I think of myself as a [G] nice guy.
[D] Usually I'm polite [A] never rude.
Of [F#m] course the bitch's real name [G] isn't Suzy.
[D] Cause I don't wanna get my [A] ass sued.
But I [G] wonder how [D] Angela's doing.
[A] [G] That's something I'd sure [A] like to know.
[G] Is Angie [D] still there with [G] her pony [D] tailed hair.
At the [A]
