Chords for OLD FOLKS AT HOME SWANEE RIVER Swanee Ribber Suwannee words lyrics STEPHEN FOSTER FLORIDA state song

[C] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ [C] _ _
[Am] _ _ [C] Way down [F] upon the Swanee River, _ [C] [Am] far, far [G] _
away,
_ [C] _ [E] There's where my [F] heart is turning ever, [C] [G] there's where the old [C] folks stay.
[B] _ [C] All up and [F] down the whole creation, [Am] _ sadly [G] I _ roam,
[C] _ [E] Still longing [F] for the old plantation [C] and [G] for the old [C] folks at _ home.
[G] Oh, the world [C] is sad and dreary [F] _ everywhere [C] I [G] roam,
_ [C] Oh, brother, [F] how my heart grows weary, [C] far [G] from the old [Am] folks at home.
[B] _ [C] _ All round the [F] little farm I [C] wandered when [A] I [G] was young,
_ [C] Then many [F] happy days I squandered, [C] many the songs I sung.
[Am] _ [B] _ [C] When [E] I was [F] playing with my brother, [Am] _ happy [G] was _ I.
[C] Oh, [E] take me [F] to my kind old mother, [C] there [Em] let me live [C] and _ die.
[G] _ Oh, the world [C] is sad and dreary [F] _ everywhere [C] I [G] roam,
_ [C] Oh, brother, [F] how my heart grows weary, [C] far [G] from the old folks at [C] home.
_ One little [F] hut among the bushes, [C] _ one that [G] I love,
[B] _ [C] Still sadly [F] to my memory rushes, [C] no [G] matter where [C] _ _
_ [B] [C] I go.
When [E] shall I [F] see the bees a-humming [C] all [Am] round [G] the [B] cone?
_ [C] When shall I hear [F] the banjo [C] strumming down [G] by my good old [C] home?
_ [G] _ Oh, the world [C] is sad and dreary [F] _ everywhere I [C] _ [G]
roam,
[C] Oh, [E] brother, how [F] my heart grows weary, [C] [G] far from the old folks at home.
