Capo 1 

        G         Gmaj7 G7   C      G           D 
Well, I came from Ala- bama with a banjo on my knee 
    G        Gmaj7   G7   C  G         D      G 
I'm goin' to Louisi- ana, my true love for to see 

       G          Gmaj7     G7    C         G              D 
It had rained all night the day I left, the weather it was dry 
    G      Gmaj7 G7       C          G     D         G 
The sun so hot I froze to death, Su- sanna don't you cry 

        D              G 
I got a long way to go 
C                  G 
I sure feel it now deep down in these dusty clothes 
C                    G 
Through another town backed up with capricious souls 
D                      G 
I got a long way to go 

        D               G 
I got a lot left to say 
C                      G 
To the empty seat that stood beside me through the fray 
C                        G 
To the midnight moon who saw it fit to light my way 
D                       G 
I got a lot left to say

                        Em            D 
But where do I got from here when I'm lost out on the road 
        D#dim     Em       D 
And the way's not clear to find my way back home 
          C             G/B 
I need to hear the only voice that leads me on 
Bb                           D 
So I can find my way back to you (D+) --- 

  G     Gmaj7     G7    C          G              D 
I had a dream the other night when everything was still 
  G         Gmaj7   G7    C G      D        G 
I thought I saw Su- sanna comin' down the hill 

  G         Gmaj7    G7     C        G               D 
A buckwheat cake was in her mouth, a tear was in her eye 
     G   Gmaj7  G7       C      G       D         G 
Says I'm comin' from the south, Susanna don't you cry

                        Em            D 
But where do I got from here when I'm lost out on the road 
        D#dim     Em       D 
And the way's not clear to find my way back home 
          C             G/B 
I need to hear the only voice that leads me on 
Bb                           D

G          Gmaj7 G7  C        G              D 
Soon we'll be in New Orleans, then I'll look around 
    G      Gmaj7    G7     C    G         D      G 
And when I find Su- sanna, I'll fall down on the ground 

    G    Gmaj7  G7   C         G              D 
And if I do not find her, then I shall surely die 
    G        Gmaj7    G7      C   G     D         G 
And when I'm dead and buried, Su- sanna don't you cry -----
