Suzanne

  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                      
And she feeds you tea and oranges 
           A
that come all the way from China
        E                          
And just when you mean to tell her 
         F#m
that you have no love to give her
         E                         
Then she gets you on her 
          F#m
wavelength, and she lets the river 
answer
            E
That you've always been her lover


[Chorus 1]
        G#m                        
And you want to travel with her, 
      A
and you want to travel blind
        E                          
And you know she will trust you for
        F#m
 you've touched her perfect body
          E
With your mind

[Verse 2]
    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                    
He said: "All men will be sailors 
        A
then until the sea shall free them"
    E                         
But he himself was broken long 
   F#m
before the sky would open
   E                       F#m
Forsaken, almost human, he sank 
beneath your wisdom
       E
Like a stone


[Chorus 2]
        G#m                        
And you want to travel with him, 
      A
and you want to travel blind
        E                          
And you think maybe you'll trust 
           F#m
him for he's touched your perfect 
body
         E
With his mind


[Verse 3]
      E
Now Suzanne takes your hand, and she
 leads you to the river
       F#m
She is wearing rags and feathers 
from the Salvation Army counter
        E
And the sun pours down like honey on
 Our Lady of the Harbour
        G#m                    
And she shows you where to look 
           A
among the garbage and the flowers
         E                      
There are heroes in the seaweed, 
           F#m
there are children in the morning
         E                         
They are leaning out for love, and 
          F#m
they will lean that way forever
        E
While Suzanne holds the mirror


[Chorus 3]
        G#m                        
And you want to travel with her, 
      A
and you want to travel blind
        E                          
And you know that you can trust her
           F#m
 for she's touched your perfect body
         E
With her mind
