Suzanne

D

[Verse 1]

Suzanne takes you down to a place 
near the river
        Em
You can hear the boats go by
                           D
You can spend the night forever

And you know that she's half crazy

But that's why you want to be there
        F#m
And she feeds you tea and oranges
          G
That come all the way from China
    D
And just when you want to tell her

That you have no love to give her
    Em
She gets you on her wavelength

And lets the river answer
            D
That you've always been her lover


[Chorus]
        F#m
And you want to travel with her
        G
And you want to travel blind
        D
And you think that maybe you'll 
trust her
          Em                       
For she's touched your perfect body
          D
 with her mind

[Verse 2]

And Jesus was a sailor

When he walked upon the water
       Em
And he spent a long time watching

From a lonely wooden tower
    D
And when he knew for certain

Only drowning men could see him
   F#m
He said, "All men shall be sailors 
then
G
Until the sea shall free them"
    D
But he himself was broken

Long before the sky would open
Em
Forsaken, almost human
He sank beneath your wisdom like a 
D
stone


[Chorus]
        F#m
And you want to travel with him
        G
And you want to travel blind
        D
And you think maybe you'll trust him
         Em                        
For he's touched your perfect body 
         D
with his mind


[Verse 3]

Suzanne takes you down to a place by
 the river
        Em
You can hear the boats go by

You can spend the night forever
        D
And the sun pours down like honey

On our lady of the harbour
        F#m
And she shows you where to look
         G
Amid the garbage and the flowers
          D
There are heroes in the seaweed

There are children in the morning
         Em
They are leaning out for love

And they will lean that way forever
        D
While Suzanne holds the mirror


[Chorus]
        F#m
And you want to travel with her
        G
And you want to travel blind
        D
And you think maybe you'll trust her
           Em                      
For you've touched her perfect body
           D
 with your mind
