Oh Susanna - American Folk

           G               Am Bm  C2       Em     /G /B   Am7-D7
Well I come from Alabama with my banjo on my knee
              G              Am  Bm C2 -76777-65666-54555 G . . C-G
And I'm bound for Louisiana . my true love for to see
    G            Am        Bm   C2        Em . . . g-f#-e (--0210)...D7
It rained all night the day I left . the weather it was dry
        G        D/F# Em   Em2 Em C2        Am7 D7          G /G /A /B
The sun was so hot . I froze to death Suzanna don't you cry

{Refrain:
C         Am7        G                            D7|-|-
Oh Susanna . oh don’t you cry for me
D9-D7 G                                       G      D7       G
Cos I come from Alabama with a banjo on my knee }

    /G        G /D   G      /G G      /D G    /G         G /D G    /D D7 /E /F#
I climbed aboard . my cell phone . and I docked in many camps
       /G    G          /D G    /G    G  /D G  /G       G    /D   D7 G   /D e-/D /B-/A
The rads spliced all . our genomes . and turned the gals to vamps
       /G G /D          G      /G G /D G   /G G /D        G    /D D7 /E /F#
The signal dropped . the battry burst I really thought I'd die
    /G   G  /D  G     /G    G  /D      G      /G G     D7       G /G /A /B
I shut my eyes . to hold my breath . Susanna don’t you cry

I had a dream the other night when everything was still
  /G    G          /D G    /G    G  /D G  /G       G    /D   D7 G   /D e-/D /B-/A

/G G /D          G      /G G /D G   /G G /D        G    /D D7 /E /F#
Buckwheat cake was in her mouth a tear was in her eye
        /G   G  /D  G     /G    G  /D      G      /G G     D7       G /G /A /B

Now honey while-I-got-you with me . I sing a happy tune
/G    G          /D G    /G    G  /D G  /G       G    /D   D7 G   /D e-/D /B-/A
Miss ya when ya leave me like a rose is missed in June
               /G G /D          G      /G G /D G   /G G /D        G    /D D7 /E /F#

        /G   G  /D  G     /G    G  /D      G      /G G     D7       G /G /A /B
And if you ever ask to leave me I will sing a sad sad song

[REFRAIN]

G     Am Bm  C2       Em     /G /B   Am7-D7
I'll be in New Orleans soon and I’ll look all round
        G         Am    Bm   C2   -76777-65666-54555 /D Cmaj7 /B/A G6
And when I find Susanna I will fall upon the ground
G   Am     Bm     C2           Em . . . g-f#-e (--0210)...D7
If I do not find her there then I will surely die
         G          D/F#         Em2-Em C2   Am7 D7          G Cmaj7-G
And when I’m dead and buried there Susanna don’t you cry
