E B

    E          B          E
The place, Appomattox, Virginia

the year 1865
  A                   E                     B
Unable to maintain supplies of food and ammunition
                                            A
The Southern rebels finally raise the White flag of surrender
G#m                         G#7                  C#m
General Robert E. Lee steps forward with General Grant of the Northern Yankees
F#m                                          B
To sign a truce that ends the American Civil War.


[Verse]

    E                B             E
The clouds of battle slowly drift away
       A              E         B
I must get down on my knees and pray
   A        G#m               G#7              C#m
I thank the Lord it’s over, I live to see once more
    F#                                 B
The roses climbing ‘round the old back door


[Chorus]

      E        Emaj7    A     B/A    G#m
And I won’t be sorry to see Suzanne again
                 A              B      E
In heaven, since Lord I can’t remember when
        G#     C#m
Can’t remember when
       F#                 B
I only hope the she still wants me
      E        Emaj7    A       B/A           G#m
And I won’t be sorry to see the lights of our home
             A                B      E
I’m dying to see the sweetest girl I know
    G#           C#m  F#
Man I’ve been so low
       Bsus4                       E   A B
Lord I won’t be sorry to see you Suzanne


[Verse 2]

    E                    B        E
For Five long years this old sad heart of mine
    A                     E           B
Has yearned to cross that Mason Dixie Line
             A       G#m            G#7               C#m
But there’ll be no returnin’ for my brothers Who have died
    F#                             B
And I feel the burning emptiness inside


[Chorus 2]

      E        Emaj7    A     B/A    G#m
And I won’t be sorry to see Suzanne again
                 A              B      E
In heaven, since Lord I can’t remember when
        G#     C#m
Can’t remember when
       F#                 B
I only hope the she still wants me
      E        Emaj7    A       B/A           G#m
And I won’t be sorry to see the lights of our home
             A                B      E
I’m dying to see the sweetest girl I know
    G#           C#m  F#
Man I’ve been so low
       Bsus4                           E   A E
Lord I won’t be sorry to see you Suzanne
