Well I come from Ala - ba - ma, with a banjo on my knee.

        Gmaj7     Am7      Bm7  Em7 
And I’m bound for Louisi - an - a,

            Gmaj7  Am7     G
my own true love   for to see.

       Gmaj7     Am7      Bm7   Em7 
It did rain all night the day I left, 

     Gmaj7           Am7  Bm7
the weather was bone dry.

   Gmaj7        Am7    Bm7     Em7    
The sun  was so hot I froze my-self, 

  Gmaj7            Am7            G
Suzanne don’t you break down and cry.

       Cmaj7     Am7      Gmaj7             Am7
I said  oh   Susanna, now don’t you cry for me.

        Gmaj7     Am7   Bm7  Em7 
Cause I come from Ala - ba - ma, 

       Gmaj7  Am7    G
with a banjo  on my knee.

      Gmaj7          Am7       Bm7   Em7
Well I had myself a dream the other night, 

        Gmaj7        Am7   Bm7
when everything was still.



   Gmaj7         Am7    Bm7   Em7    
I dreamed that I saw my gal Suzanne, 

        Gmaj7    Am7       G
she was coming around the hill.

    Gmaj7     Am7      Bm7    Em7    
The buckwheat cake was in her mouth, 

  Gmaj7           Am7  Bm7
a tear was in her eye.

  Gmaj7       Am7       Bm7   Em7  
I said that I come from Dixieland, 

  Gmaj7            Am7            G
Suzanne don't you break down and cry.

       Cmaj7     Am7      Gmaj7             Am7
I said  oh   Susanna, now don't you cry for me.

        Gmaj7     Am7   Bm7  Em7         Gmaj7 Am7    G
Cause I come from Ala - ba - ma,  with a banjo on my knee.
