    E
She hit the town of Brisbane exhibition time

                                  A
Travelled on to Sydney where they loved her line.

                                    E
They liked her candy way of singing blues

     B7                                                                    E
Then Melbourne she made then she rocked Adelaide, my sunny, sunny southern Sue.
[Verse]
E
Everywhere she travels it’s a crowded scene

                     A
Everybody loves this southern queen

                                        E
She makes you feel her song is just for you

     B7                                                                    E
Been flyin’ so high, I’m tellin’ you why, I’m losin’ sunny, sunny southern Sue.
[Chorus]
    A
Oh, everybody loves my Sue

                         E
But none love her like I do.

     F#
It’s breakin’ my heart because we’re moving apart

                               B7
It’s breaking up a love that’s true-boo-hoo
[Verse]
         E
So, I’ll gather up my heartaches and tag along

                          A
and win back my baby girl with this song

                                         E
‘Cos when her rollin’ a-rockin’ days are through

      B7                                                            E
I’m-a gonna be there to tenderly care, for my sunny, sunny southern Sue. Take it away there.
[Instrumental] E A E B7 E [Verse]
     E
This morning when I woke up, and jumped out of bed

                            A
I went to the window, and I hung my head.

                                             E
I cried and dreamed of the days that we once knew.

        B7                                                              E
Oh, I’d like to know so I’m gonna go and look for sunny, sunny southern Sue
[Chorus]
     A
Yes, everybody loves my Sue

                      E
But how many love her true?

F#
love and fame is a funny old game

                                B7
You’ve gotta choose between the two that’s true
[Verse]
         E
So, I’ll gather up my heartaches and tag along

                          A
And win back my baby girl with this song

                                         E
‘Cos when her rollin’ a-rockin’ days are through

      B7                                                           E
I’m-a gonna be there to tenderly care for my sunny, sunny southern Sue.
[Outro]
       B7                    E
For my sunny, sunny southern Sue.

       B7                    E
For my sunny, sunny southern Sue.

       B7                    E
For my sunny, sunny southern Sue.
