[Verse 1]
      Amaj7    Bm7 C#m7  F#m7    A   F#m7   Bm7
Well I come from Alabama with a banjo on my knee
        Amaj7     Bm7 C#m7  F#m7    Bm7     Bm7/E     A9
And I'm bound for Louisiana, my own true love for to see
   Amaj7        Bm7       Cmaj7  F#m7
It did rain all night the day I left
      A     F#m7     Bm7
The weather was bone dry
    Amaj7      Bm7    C#m7  F#m7
The sun was so hot I froze myself
  Bm7             Bm7/E          A9
Suzanne don't you break down and cry
 
[Chorus]
     Dmaj7   Bm7    Bm7/E
I said Oh Suzanna ------
      A       F#m7    Bm7
Now don't you cry for me
     Amaj7     Bm7 C#m7       Bm7   Bm7/E A9
As I come from Alabama with a banjo on my knee
 
[Verse 2]
      Amaj7         Bm7       C#m7  F#m7
Well I had myself a dream the other night
     A  F#m7        Bm7
When everything was still
  Amaj7          Bm7      C#m7  F#m7
I dreamed that I saw my girl Suzanne
        Bm7     Bm7/E     A9
She was coming around the hill
     Amaj7     Bm7      C#m7  F#m7
The buckwheat cake was in her mouth
   A        F#m7  Bm7
A tear was in her eye
  Amaj7       Bm7        C#m7  F#m7
I said that I come from Dixie land
  Bm7             Bm7/E            A9
Suzanne don't you break down and cry
 
[Chorus]
   Dmaj7   Bm7    Bm7/E
I said Oh Suzanna ------
    A         F#m7    Bm7
Now don't you cry for me
     Amaj7     Bm7 C#m7       Bm7   Bm7/E A9
As I come from Alabama with a bajo on my knee
