Second Hand Flowers
George Jones
Believe it is F then F#
Banjo Tuned E, Capo 3, Key of F
F C F
I was working in Miami for a day or two
C F
I decided Id look up a girl that I once knew
C F
I bought some flowers and went to see a girl I used to know
C Bb F
The lady at her door said she had married long ago
Times will change and towns will change; there I was alone
And suddenly I wondered, would susie be at home?
So with the flowers in my hand, I walked toward her gate
Someone touched me on the arm and said, youll have to wait.
Then I noticed there were people standing in a line
And some of them were holding pretty flowers just like mine
They explained that susie had been in an awful crash
Doctors said that she had just a little while to last
Key change:

When I walked into her room, I felt a sense of shame
Db F#
But I heard susie whisper, Im awfully glad you came.
Db F#
She had been the girl that I had always gone to see
Db B F#
When someone that I cared for had been untrue to me
I handed her the flowers and she gently kissed my hand
She said, dont be embarrassed; you know I understand.
I said, goodbye and as I bent to kiss her fevered brow
I heard her whisper, thank you for the second handed flowers.
