Chords for Nina Simone: Suzanne

[C] _ _ _ _ She says I'll take you down to the world of the spider
_ _ You [D] _ _
can hear the boats go by _
You can spend the night forever
[C] You know she's half crazy
And _ _ that's why you want to be there
[Em] She feeds you tea and oranges
[F] That come all the way from China
_ [G] _ [C] _ _
_ Just when you mean to tell her
[D] _ _
That you have [Dm] no love [Em] to give [C] her
She gets you on a wavelength
[Dm] And she is a river
Answer that you've [C] always been a lover
_ You _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Em] want to travel with her
[F] You want to travel blind
[C] You think maybe you can trust her
She's [Dm] touched your concrete body _ [C] with her mind _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Now Jesus, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ I said Jesus was a sailor
And he walked across the water
_ [D] _
Spent a long time watching
From his lonely wooden tower
And [C] when he _ knew for certain
_ He'd be drowning men for sin
_ [Em] He said all men will be sailors
_ [F] _ _
Until the sea shall free [Em] them
[C] But he himself was broken
_ _ [D] _
Long before the sky would open
[C] _ _
He's saken almost human
[D] He sank [Dm] beneath your wisdom [C] like a stone
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
And _ _ _ [E] [Em] you want to travel with her
You [F] know you want to travel _ blind
[Em] [C] You think maybe you can trust her
[G] Cause _ she's touched your perfect [C] body with her _ _ _ _ _ _ _ mind _
_ _ _ _ Now _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Jesus _ _ _ was a sailor
And he walked across the water _
[Dm] And he spent a long time watching
_ From his lonely wooden tower
[C] And when he knew _ _ _ for certain
_ Only drowning men could see [Em] him
He said all men will be sailors
[F] _
_ Until the sea shall free them
[C] _
But he himself was broken
[Dm] _ _
Long before the [C] sky would open
He's saken almost human
[Dm] He sank beneath your wisdom [C] like a stone
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Em] And you want to travel with her
[F] And you want to travel blind
[C] Cause you think maybe you can trust him
[G] Cause he's touched your perfect body [C] with his mind _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
He's touched your perfect body with his mind
He's _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
touched _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ your perfect body with _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ his _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ mind _ _ _ _
Now Suzanne takes your hand
And she leads you to the river _
[Dm] She's wearing hot rags and feathers
She's a hippie from Salvation Army
And [C] the sun _ _ goes down like honey _
