Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E) Difficulty: Novice Verse 1: Em C G The city lights light up the skies and sidewalks Em C G And I realized the second they came on Em C G Surely that must be where all the light goes Em D G When it gets dark back home Em C G All the brunettes in New York City Em C G And all the hills and rain in Tennessee Em C G We road through them all for what seemed like years Em D G But I was thinking about you and me
Chorus 1: Em C Oh Susanna D G Don't you cry for me G C D G I'm coming home to Alabama because I've got no place else to be Em C Oh Susanna D G It's me who cries for you G C D G Lord I'm coming home to stay and honey you're just passing through Verse 2: Em C G I played my guitar out on the shore line Em C G And the fireworks, they burned our in the bay Em C D G We drank til July fifth and then we slept right through the sixth Em D G And I thought about you all three days Em C G Then I guess I woke up sometime on a Friday Em C G And realized that drug store wine, it just don't taste the same Em C G Without the sweetness of your kiss to end the bottle Em D G But man, it damn sure still works wonders on the pain Chorus 2: Em C Oh Susanna D G Don't you cry for me G C D G I've got bones beneath my skin to keep me who I've got to be Em C Oh Susanna D G It's me who cries for you G C D G You sure do walk away a straight line for all the circles that you do Instrumental Break: Verse 3: Em C G Your entrance killed the laughter in the room Em C G And my presence killed the laughter in you Em C And the cue card guy quit yesterday G You're left without a thing to say Em D G You kindly pass on through Em D G That's how I'll see you Em D G That's how I'll see you Em D G Em D G That's the portrait that I'll paint in my head every time I think of you Bridge: C It don't take much for me G C D Just a tree line, some cheap wine and a back yard sky C Em D A C Hovering over me like forgiveness just dangling on a string Em D G It could turn it all around Em D G Let's turn it all around Chorus 3: Em C Oh Susanna D G Don't you cry for me G C D G I've got bones beneath my skin to keep me who I've got to be Em C Oh Susanna D G It's me who cries for you G C D G You sure do walk away a straight line for all the circles that you do
