    “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
