Nahko Bear - Susanna

^CI left my home for the open road Bid^F farewell to a beautiful ^Cgirl She was ^Cout to push and pry my bravery I was ^Gout to con^Fquer the ^Cworld Well ^CI was circling the globe She'd spend ^Fhers pulling somewhere and ^Cthen She'd say, "^CI fell in love with a drifter's son And ^Gnow he's ^Fgone ag^Cain" ^CHeld my ventures up like trophies ^FHigh over my ^Chead Sus^Canna, she's a patient woman She ^Gprays my ^Fhappin^Cess

^FOh, Susanna ^CDon't you cry for ^Gme I'm ^Cheaded for those coastal waters An ^Gocean ^Ffar to ^Csee

^CSaw your face carved in the caves In the ^Ftunneling ^Cfields I ^Cwore my stubbornness like armor A ^Greli^Fable ^Cshield Oh, ^Chow could I have been so thoughtless And ^Fcareless with my ^Clove? When ^CI met you, you were drifting too Just ^Glike a ^Fdriftwood ^Cdoes ^CShe'd be knee-deep in the waters ^FWhispering to the ^Csea ^CSusanna, she's a graceful woman Her ^Gwords have ^Fconvinced ^Cme

^FOh, Susanna Why don't you ^Ccome down ^Emhere with ^Gme And ^Cplay in the oldest parts of the jungle And ^Gclimb a ^Fbanyan ^Ctree

^AmExplore from shore to ^Gshore There's always ^Fone more mountain to ^Gsee Sus^Amanna came to me ^Gin a dream And on the ^Fsummit, she ^Emsaid to ^Cme She said, "^FI am freedom I'm ^Call that you ^Gseek But you ^Ccan't have this if you want all that And you certainly can't have ^Cme!"

^GOh, Susanna ^FI don't cry for ^Gyou You're the ^Cbest adventure I've had yet But I'm ^Gonly ^Fpassing ^Cthrough
