Suzanne takes you down to her place near the river,
You can
F#M
hear the boats go by you can spend the night beside her,
And you
E
know that she’s half crazy but that’s why you wanna be there,
And she
G#M
feeds you tea and oranges that come
A
all the way from China,
And just
E
when you mean to tell her that you
F#M
have no love to give her,
Then she
E
gets you on her wavelength and she
F#M
lets the river answer,
That you’ve
E
always been her lover.
And you
G#M
want to travel with her,
And you
A
want to travel blind,
And you
E
know that she will trust you,
For you’ve
F#M
touched her perfect body with your m

And Jesus was a sailor when he walked upon the water,
And he
F#M
spent a long time watching from his lonely wooden tower,
And
E
when he knew for certain only drowning men could see him,
He said
G#M
"all men will be sailors then unt
A
il the sea shall free them",
But
E
he himself was broken, long
F#M
before the sky would open
Forsa
E
ken, almost human, he
F#M
sank beneath your wisdom like a
E
stone.
And you
G#M
want to travel with him,
And you
A
want to travel blind,
And you
E
think you maybe you’ll trust him,
For he’s tou
F#M
ched your perfect body with her min

Now Suzanne takes your hand and she leads you to the river,
She is
F#M
wearing rags and feathers from Salvation Army counters,
And the s
E
un pours down like honey on our lady of the harbor,
And she s
G#M
hows you where to look among the g
A
arbage and the flowers,
There are
E
heroes in the seaweed, there are
F#M
children in the morning,
They are
E
leaning out for love and they will
F#M
lean that way forever,
While Suz
E
anne holds the mirror.
And you
G#M
want to travel with her,
And you
A
want to travel blind,
And you
E
know that you can trust her,
For she’s t
F#M
ouched your perfect body with her mi
