Oh Susanna

I'm driving to Alabama... Oh Susanna!

4-4   5    6   6-6  6  5
I came from Al-a-bam-a

4 -4 5 5 -4 4 -4
with my ban-jo on my knee;

4-4 5 6 6 -6 6 5
I'm goin' to Lou-'si-an-a

4-4 5 5 -4 -4 4
M-y true love for to see.

4-4 5 6 6 -6 6 5 4
I-t rained all night the day I left

-4 5 5 -4 4 -4
The weath-er it was dry;

4 -4 5 6 6 -6 6 5 4
Th-e sun so hot I froze to death,

-4 5 5 -4 -4 4
Su-san-na, don't you cry.

-5 -5 -6 -6 -6 6 6 5 4 -4
Oh, Su-san-na, oh, don't you cry for me;

4 -4 5 6 6-6 6 5
I-ve come from Al-a-bam-a

4 -4 5 5 -4 -4 4
with my ban-jo on my knee.

I had a dream the other night when everything was still,
I thought I saw Susanna coming up the hill,
The red, red rose was in her hand, the tear was in her eye,
I said I'm coming from Dixieland, Susanna don't you cry.
I soon will be in New Orleans and then I'll look around
And when I find my gal Susanne, I'll fall upon the ground
But if I do not find you there, then I will surely die
And when I'm dead and buried, Susanna don't you cry.

Oh, Susanna,Oh don't you cry for me
I've come from Alabama
With my banjo on my knee

Lyrics of the FC Barcelona's anthem in English


The whole stadium
loudly cheers
We’re the blue and claret supporters
It matters not where we hail from
Whether it's the south or the north
Now we all agree, we all agree,
One flag unites us in brotherhood.
Blue and claret blowing in the wind


One valiant cry
We’ve got a name that everyone knows:
Barça, Barça, Baaarça!

Players, Supporters
United we are strong.
We’ve achieved much over the years,
We’ve shouted many goals
And we have shown, we have shown,
That no one can ever break us.
Blue and claret blowing in the wind


One valiant cry
We’ve got a name that everyone knows:
Barça, Barça, Baaarça!

La presó del Rei de França

Key C

"La presó del rei de França" is Catalan song, popularized by the group Elèctrica Dharma. I found the tab myself few weeks ago, so any suggestion for modifications is welcome.

Enjoy it!


5 6 -6 -7 7 -6 -7 6 6
Ja partí el rei de França


5 6 -6 -7 7 -6 -7 6'___6
un dilluns al de matí.


-8 7 -7 -6 -7 6 -6 -5' 5

Va partir per prendre Espanya


-8 7 -7 -6 -7 6 -6 -5'___-5

i els espanyols be l'han pris.


5 6 -6 -7 7 -6 -7 6' 6

Ja partí el rei de França

5 6 -6 -7 7 -6 -7 6 6
'
un dilluns al de matí.


....


------------------------

Ja partí el rei de França
un dilluns al de matí.
Va partir per prendre Espanya
i els espanyols be l'han pris.
Ja partí el rei de França
un dilluns al de matí.

Posant-lo en presó molt fosca
on no es coneix dia i nit.
Treu el cap per la finestra
i un passatger veu venir.
Posant-lo en presó molt fosca
on no es coneix dia i nit.

Digueu-li a la meva esposa
que en vingui a treure d'aquí:
Si no hi ha prou diner a França
que vagin a Sant Denís.
Digueu-li a la meva esposa
que en vingui a treure d'aquí:

Que venguin la conxa d'or,
que venguin la flor de lis.
Si no hi ha prou diner en bossa
que vagin a Sant Patrís.
Que venguin la conxa d'or,
que venguin la flor de lis.

12 Bar Blues

Key C

The 12 bar blues is played in most blues songs. It's small, smart, simple and brilliant! The bends don't need to be played but the blues sounds much nicer.

Riff1: 3,4,-3',3

Riff2: 4,4,-3,4

Riff3: 3,-3',4,-4''


These riffs should be played in the following order:

Riff1 (x4), Riff2 (x2), Riff1 (x2), Riff3 (x1), Riff2 (x1), Riff1 (x2). Repeat
