[Intro]
| G | C D | F B7 | E7 |
 
[Verse 1]
Am                        A          E
I've been away from you a long time
Am
I never thought I'd miss you so
D         Dm    D
Somehow I feel, your love is real
A          E7
Near you I wanna be
 
[Verse 2]
Am                          A          E
The birds are singing it is song time
Am
The banjo's strumming soft and low
D           Dm   D
I know that you, yearn for me too
Am                      E7
Swannee, you're calling me
 
[Pre Chorus]
A                                       D       A/E
Swanee, how I love you, how I love you, my dear old Swanee
A                E7/F  E                  A7
I give the world to be, among the folks in D-I-X

 
{ CHORUS }
  A                                                     Dm      A/E
I even though my mammy, waiting for me, praying for me, down by the Swanee
A                       D         Bm         E7                   A
The folks up north will see me no more, when I get to that Swanee shore

A                E7/F  E                  A7
I give the world to be, among the folks in D-I-X

The folks up north will see me no more, when I get to that Swanee shore..
