NOTE: 	[PALM MUTING, p.m.]
	To reproduce the sloppy sound of the song keep hitting the lower
	strings palm muted (E A [D]).For the higher strings the muting
	can be loosened to get a slightly ringing sound.
        Listen to the song to figure out the rhythm.

Dear Susan, I know you love me so

But I want to hear it in my ear
                 G                   C
You know I'd be there working at my craft
           G             Em
Had it not been for the draft
            F                G
Dry up your tear and feel no fear

You're here with me like I'm there with you

I'm writing a note beneath a tree

The smell of the rain on the greenery
                 G                      c
Our fathers have painfully lost their way
                 G               Em
That's why, my love, I'm here today
               F                     G
Hear me when I say there will come a day

When kings will know and love can grow
