Pretty simple song. Only note worth mentioning would be the walk-ups and walk-downs.
On the fat E string (so there's no confusion) on "cut out the lights" Walk down from A to G#m to F#m to E
(5 - 4 - 2 - 0) That's for the first line. Then basically the opposite as you go into the chorus.
The others walk down from A to G#m to F#m back to G#m (5 - 4 - 2 - 4) ending on the G#m
Hope y'all enjoy.
A A G#m F#m E
By God won't you please just cut out the lights
[Verse]
E B7
Suzanne won't you help me to draw the line
E
Between floozy women and having cigarettes with wine
B7
There seems to be no room here for my laughter
E
But you never seemed to mind all those nights before

Won't you leave my candle burning
[Verse]
E B7
Working for nickel down at the armory
E
Trying to support my dime life style
B7
The bossman telling me I better get it done
E
What a way to treat the boy who's your only son

Count your money out on your own time
E
You stole somebody's heart my dear but it sure as hell wasn't mine
B7
Pick your rags up off my bedroom floor
E
I done told you one time you're not welcome here no more
