     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 
     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 

      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 
   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
