_ _ _ _ Suzanne takes you down to her place near the river.
_
F#m You can hear the boats go by, you can spend the night
D beside
F#m her.
And
E you know that she's half crazy, but that's why you want to be there.
And
G#m she feeds you tea and oranges that
A 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 then she gets you on her wavelength
F#m and she lets the river answer.
that
E you've always been her lover.
_ _ _ _ _ _ .
And
G#m you want to travel with her, and you
A want to travel blind,.
and
E you know she will trust you,
F#m for you've touched her perfect body with
E your mind.
_ _ _ _ .
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ .
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,.
he said
G#m all men will be sailors then
A until the sea shall free them.
E But he himself was broken _
F#m long before the sky would open, _ .
_
E forsaken, _ almost human, he
F#m sank beneath your wisdom like a
E stone.
_ _ _ _ _ .
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ .
And
G#m you want to travel with him, and
A you want to travel _ blind,.
and you
E think maybe you'll trust him, for
F#m he's touched your perfect body with
E his mind.
_ _ _ _ _ .
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ .
Now _ 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 our Lady of the Harbour.
And
Em she
G#m shows you where to look among
A the garbage and the flowers.
There
E are heroes in the seaweed,
F#m there are children in the morning,.
E they are leaning out for love, and they will
F#m lean that way forever.
while
E Suzanne _ holds the mirror.
_ _ _ _ _ _ .
And
G#m you want to travel with her, and
A you want to travel _ blind,.
and
E you think maybe you can trust her,
F#m for she's touched your perfect body
E with her mind.
