Suzanne

Intro: E (E E4)

 E
Suzanne takes you down to her place near  the river
         F#m
You can hear the boats go by, you can spend the night beside her
         E
And you know that she's half crazy but that's why you wanna be there
         G#m                                A
And she feeds you tea and oranges that came all the way from China
        E                                  F#m
And just when you want to tell her that you have no love to give her
         E                                  F#m
Then she gets you on her wavelength and she lets the river answer
             E
That you've always been her lover


        G#m                              A
And you want to travel with her and you want to travel blind
         E                               F#m
And you know she will trust you for you touched her perfect body
          E
With your mind

     E
And Jesus was a sailor when he walked upon the water
       F#m
And he spent a long time watching from his lonely wooden tower
     E
And when he knew for certain only drowning men could see him
        G#m                             A
He said all men will be sailors then until the sea shall free them
    E                            F#m
But he himself was broken long before the sky would open
    E                      F#m                             E
Forsaken, almost human, he sank beneath your wisdom like a stone

        G#m                              A
And you want to travel with him, and you want to travel blind
         E                                    F#m
And you think maybe you'll tust him for he's touched your perfect body
          E
With his mind

     E
Now suzanne takes your hand, she leads you to the river
       F#m
She's wearing rags and feathers from Salvation Army counters
        E
And the sun pours down like honey on our lady of the harbor
        G#m                                A
And she shows you where to look among the garbage and the flowers
           E                                F#m
There are heroes in the seaweed, there are children in the morning
           E                                F#m
They are leaning out for love and they will lean that way forever
        E
While Suzanne holds her mirror

        G#m                              A
And you want to travel with her and you want to travel blind
         E                                F#m
And you know you can trust her for she's touched your  perfect body
          E
With her mind
