Chords for Roberta Flack - Suzanne

_ _ This song tells a story _ and _ _ _ _ there are not a lot of songs around today that tell stories. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [E] This story is of a beautiful young girl who spends all of her time in front of the mirror,
_ _ checking it out, _ _ _ _ _ [F#] _ so she has [F#] no time left to think about the needs or [D#m] pains _ of other people.

_ _ _ [F#] _ _ Suzanne takes you down to a place by the river.
_ [G#m] _ You can hear the boats go by [F#] and spend the night forever.
_ _ You know that she's half crazy, _ but that's why you want to be there.
[G#] And she [A#m] feeds you tea and oranges that come [B] all the way from China.
[A] _ _ _ [F#] And you want to tell her you [F#] _ have no love to give her.
[G#m] _ She gets you on a wavelength _ and she lets the river answer [F#] _ that you've always been her love. _ _
_ _ _ _ But you [A#m] want to travel with her, _ _ [B] you want to travel blind,
and you think maybe you'll trust [E] her. _
She's touched your _ [F#]
perfect _ _ _ body, _ _
[B] _ _ _ her _ _ [F#]
mind.

She's [E] _ _ [E] _ _ touched your perfect body, her mind. _
_ [F#] _ _ Jesus was a sailor when he walked upon the water. _ _ _ _
_ [G#m] He spent a _ long time [D#m] watching from [F#] a lonely wooden tower.
_ When he knew for certain _ that only drowning men could see him, he said,
[A#m] _ _ All men shall be sailors then, _ [B] till the sea shall free them.
But [F#] he _ himself was broken _ _ long before the sky would [G#m] open.
He was forsaken, almost human.
[B] _ He sang beneath your wisdom [F#] _ _ like a _ song. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [A#m] But you want to travel with him, _ you [B] want to travel [B] blind,
and [F#] you think maybe you'll trust him.
[E] _ He's touched, _ _ [F#] touched you.
He's touched you. _ _

_ _ [F#] _ _ _ _ _
She's _ [G#m] _ _ _ wearing red and feathers [B] from _ salvation's army counters.
[F#] And the sun pours down like a leech on our lady of the harbor.
[A#m] And she shows [A#] you where to look.
[B] _ With the garbage and the squalor, there [F#] are hills _ and rivers.
_ _ And _ children in the morning, [G#m] they are leaning out for _ [B] love.
They will lean that way [F#] forever. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [A#m] But you want to travel with him, _ [B] you want to travel [D#] _ blind.
