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.

 GC
Dear Susan, I know you love me so
 GC
But I want to hear it in my ear

You know I'd be there working at my craft

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
 GC
The smell of the rain on the greenery
G c
Our fathers have painfully lost their way

Hear me when I say there will come a day

When kings will know and love can grow
