[N] [G]

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