Susanna Oh Susanna

“Susanna Oh Susanna”
(Original song with lyrics, chords, and video below)

C Mornings when we wake up
on the deep blue sea
G7 Afternoons sleeping
under a green palm tree

E7 Evenings when you call me
A7 Come out wherever you are
D7 On the radio playing
G Patty and Ray

C Susanna oh Susanna
I can’t even say your name
G7 And all I have for you is
more of the same

E7 Hiding in the evening
A7 When you call my name
D7 On the radio playing
G Patty and Ray

C Days falling down
like waves on the beach
G7 Every night you drift
farther out of reach

E7 Evenings when I call you
A7 Come over here my love
D7 On the radio playing
G Patty and Ray
