Intro: C Bb F (2x)
 
Verse 
 
C               Bb 
 Just yesterday morning,  
            F                  C 
They let me know that you were gone 
             Em                     Bb 
Suzanne, the plans they made put an end to you 
C                  Bb 
 I walked out this morning  
      F               C 
And I wrote down this song 
               Em            Bb 
I just can't remember who to send it to 
 
F Am        Dm       F/G    C 
  I've seen fire and I've seen rain 
F      Am         Dm          F/G           C 
  I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end 
F           Am     Dm   F/G     C 
  I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend 
        Bb     Am               Gm       C 
  But I always thought that I'd see you again 
 
Verse 
 
          C                  Bb 
Won't you look down upon me, Jesus 
              F              C 
You've got to help me make a stand 
                   Em              Bb 
You've just got to see me through another day 
C          Bb            F          C 
 My body's aching and my time is at hand 
            Em          Bb 
And I won't make it any other way 
 
 
F Am        Dm       F/G    C 
  I've seen fire and I've seen rain 
F      Am         Dm          F/G           C 
  I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end 
F           Am     Dm   F/G     C 
  I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend 
        Bb     Am               Gm       C 
  But I always thought that I'd see you again 
 
 
Verse 
 
     C                     Bb 
Been walking my mind to an easy time 
   F                       C 
My back turned towards the sun 
                    Em 
Lord knows when the cold wind blows  
      Bb                
It'll turn your head around 
              C                    Bb 
Well, there's hours of time on the telephone line  
   F                    C 
To talk about things to come 
                 Em 
Sweet dreams and flying machines  
   Bb 
In pieces on the ground 
 
 
F Am        Dm       F/G    C 
  I've seen fire and I've seen rain 
F      Am         Dm          F/G           C 
  I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end 
F           Am     Dm   F/G     C 
  I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend 
        Bb     Am               Gm       C 
  But I always thought that I'd see you again 
          Bb     Am               Gm       C 
  Guess I always thought that I'd see you again
