D                C                   G               D
  Just yesterday morning they let me know you were gone
D             A                      CaddD
  Suzanne the plans they made put an end to you
D                   C              G    Am7  G/B  D
  I walked out this morning and I wrote down this song
D                  A               CaddD 
  but I just can't remember who to send it to

G G/F#      G/E      A7        D
  I've seen fire and I've seen rain
          G     G/F#        G/E           A7     D
I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end
          G      G/F#         G/E       A7      D
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
      C      C/B              Am7       D    | D  G | Em D | G D Em D |
but I always thought that I'd see you again

          D                 C                      G              D
Won't you look down upon me jesus you gotta help me make a stand
D                 A                CaddD
  you just got to see me through another day
D           C             G    Am7  G/B  D
  my body's achin' and my time is   at   hand
D              A           CaddD 
  I just can't make it any other way

G G/F#      G/E      A7        D
  I've seen fire and I've seen rain
          G     G/F#        G/E           A7     D
I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end
          G      G/F#         G/E       A7      D
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
      C      C/B              Am7       D
but I always thought that I'd see you again

          D                     C            G                          D
I've been walkin' my mind to an easy time my back turned towards the sun
D                     A                     CaddD  
  lord knows when the cold wind blows it'll turn your head around
            D                    C                 G                    D
but there's hours of time on the telephone line to talk about things to come
D                  A                  CaddD
  sweet dreams and flying machines in pieces on the ground

G  G/F#      G/E      A7        D
Oh I've seen fire and I've seen rain
          G     G/F#        G/E           A7     D*
I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end
          G      G/F#         G/E       A7      D
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
      C      C/B              Am7                    D
but I always thought that I'd see you one more time again
