"Old Folks at Home" for the Guitar

TEMPO: Moderate
STRUM 2: Pluck string; 1 down; 1 back.

C(3)2                                        F(1)3
Way down upon the Suwannee River,

C(2)2      G7(2)1
Far, far a - way,

C(3)2                                            F(1)3
There’s where my heart is turning ever;

C(1)2                 G7(1)1       C(2)2
There’s where the old folks stay.

C(3)2                                              F(1)3
All up and down the whole cre - a - tion,

C(2)2   G7(2)1
Sadly I roam,

C(3)2                                            F(1)3
Still longing for the old plan - ta - tion,

C(1)2         G7(1)1           C(2)2
And for the old folks at home.

CHORUS:
G7(2)1             C(2)2
All the world is sad and dreary

F(2)3              C(4)2
Everywhere I roam,

                               F(2)3
O’ darkies, how my heart grows weary,

C(1)2           G7(1)1          C(2)2
Far from the old folks at home.
