	        verse 1 


C 
I left my home for the open road 
   F                        C 
Bid farewell to a beautiful girl 
        C 
She was out to push and pry my bravery 
      G         F        C 
I was out to conquer the world 
     C 
Well I was circling the globe 
            F                          C 
She'd spend hers pulling somewhere and then 
            C 
She'd say, 'I fell in love with a drifter's son 
    G        F      C 
And now he's gone again' 
C 
Held my ventures up like trophies 
F            C 
High over my head 
   C 
Susanna, she's a patient woman 
    G        F     C 
She prays my happiness 
Chorus I'd sing F Oh, Susanna C G Don't you cry for me C I'm headed for those coastal waters G F C An ocean far to see
C F C F verse 2 C Saw your face carved in the caves F C In the tunneling fields C I wore my stubbornness like armor G F C A reliable shield C Oh, how could I have been so thoughtless F C And careless with my love? C When I met you, you were drifting too G F C Just like a driftwood does C She'd be knee-deep in the waters F C Whispering to the sea C Susanna, she's a graceful woman G F C Her words have convinced me
Chorus I'd sing F Oh, Susanna C Em G Why don't you come down here with me C And play in the oldest parts of the jungle G F C And climb a banyan tree
C F C F C F C F verse 3 Am G Explore from shore to shore F G There's always one more mountain to see Am G Susanna came to me in a dream F Em C And on the summit, she said to me F She said, 'I am freedom C G I'm all that you seek C But you can't have this if you want all that C And you certainly can't have me!' C F C F C F C F Outro G Oh, Susanna F G I don't cry for you C You're the best adventure I've had yet G F C But I'm only passing through
