[Verse 1]
Well, when you're sitting there in your silk upholstered chair
Talking to some rich folks that you know
Well, I hope you don't see me in my ragged company
Well, you know, I could never be alone

[Pre-Chorus]
Take me down, little Susie, won't you take me down?
I know you think you're the queen of the underground

[Chorus]
You can send me dead flowers every morning
Send me dead flowers by the mail
Send me dead flowers to my wedding
And I won't forget to put roses on your grave

[Verse 2]
Well, when you're sitting back in your long pink Cadillac
Making bets on Kentucky Derby Day
I'll be in some basement room with a needle and a spoon
Another girl can take my pains away

[Pre-Chorus]
Take me down, little Susie, won't you take me down?
I know you think you're the queen of the underground

[Chorus]
And you can send me dead flowers every morning
Send me dead flowers by the mail
Send me dead flowers to my wedding
And I won't forget to put roses on your grave
Alright

[Guitar Solo]

[Pre-Chorus]
Take me down, little Susie, won't you take me down?
I know you think you're the queen of the underground

[Chorus]
You can send me dead flowers every morning
Send me dead flowers by the U.S. mail
Say it with dead flowers at my wedding
And I won’t forget to put roses on your grave
No, I won’t forget to put roses on your grave

[Audience Applause]
Whoo!

The Rolling Stones

Formed in London in 1962, The Rolling Stones led the “British Invasion” along with The Beatles and were so successful their influence can be seen in arguably every rock ‘n’ roll band that followed.

Three of the current members have been there since the band’s singer Mick Jagger and guitarist Keith Richards, who write the majority of the band’s catalogue and also produced some albums as The Glimmer Twins; and drummer Charlie Watts. The fourth official member is guitarist Ronnie Wood, who has been there since 1975 (the keyboardist and bassist who play in studio and live are usually not listed). The Stones have released more than 20 studio albums, and even as age caught up on them, continued to be a huge attraction on the live circuit, with big stadium tours continuing through the 1990s, 2000s and into the 2010s.
