[E]
Suzanne takes you down to a place near the river.
[F#m] You can hear the boats go by.
You can spend the [F#] night beside her.
[E] And you know that she's half crazy.
But that's why you want to be there.
[G#m] That you feed your tea and oranges [A] that
come all the way from China.
And [E] just when you mean to tell her [F#m] that you have no love
to give her, [E] and she gets you on her wavelength,
[F#m] and she lets the river answer that [E] you've always
been her lover.
And you [G#m] want to travel with her.
[A] And you want to travel blind.
And you [E] know that she will trust you.
[F#m] You've touched her perfect body with [E] your mind.
And Jesus was [E] a sailor.
And he walked upon the water.
And [F#m] he spent a long time watching
from his lonely [F#] wooden tower.
[F#m] [E] And when he knew for certain only drowning men could see him,
[G#m] he said, all men will be sailors then
[A] until the sea shall free them.
[E] But he himself was broken [F#m] before the sky would open.
[E] Forsaken, almost human, he sank beneath your wisdom
[E] stone.
And [G#m] you want to travel with him.
[A] And you want to travel blind.
And [E] you think maybe you can trust him.
[F#m] For he's touched your perfect body [E] with his mind.
Well, Suzanne takes your hand.
And she leads you to the river.
She [F#m] is wearing rags and feathers from Salvation Army counters.
And [E] the sun pours down like honey on a lady of the harbor.
And [G#m] she shows you where to look.
Among [A] the garbage and the flowers,
[E] there are heroes in the seaweed.
[F#m] And the children in the morning, [E] they are learning how to love.
And [F#m] they will lean that way forever
[E] while Suzanne holds the mirror.
[G#m] And you want to travel with her.
[A] And you want to travel blind.
And you [E] know that you can trust her.
[F#m] She's touched your perfect body [E] with her mind.
