_ _ _ _ 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.
