[Verse 1]
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 halfcrazy but that's why you want
to be there
G#m A
And she feeds you tea and oranges that come all the way
from China
E F#m
And just when you mean to tell her that you have no love to
give her
E
Then she gets you on her wavelength
F#m E
And she lets the river answer that you've always been her
lover
[Chorus]
G#m
And you want to travel with her,
A
and you want to travel blind
E
And you know that she will trust you
F#m E
For you've touched her perfect body 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 A
He said all men will be sailors then until the sea shall
free them
E
But he himself was broken,
F#m
long before the sky would open
E
Forsaken, almost human,
F#m E
he sank beneath your wisdom like a stone
[Chorus]
G#m
And you want to travel with him,
A
and you want to travel blind
E
And you think maybe you'll trust him
F#m E
For he's touched your perfect body with his mind
[Verse 3]
Now,
E
Suzanne takes your hand and 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
There are heroes in the seaweed,
F#m
there are children in the morning
E F#m
They are leaning out for love and they wil lean that way
forever
E
While Suzanne holds the mirror
[Chorus]
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 E
For she's touched your perfect body with her mind
