[D] [G] [D]
Suzanne takes you down to her place near [G] the [D] river.
[F] You [Em] can hear the boats go by.
You can spend the night beside her.
And [D] you know she's [G] half [D] crazy, but that's why you want to be there.
[F] And [F#m] she feeds you tea and oranges that [C] come [G] all the way from China.
[D] [Em] And [D] just when you mean to tell her [F] [Em] that you have more [A] love to [Em] give her,
[D] then she gets you on [G] her [D] wavelength.
[G#] [Em] And she lets the [A] river [Em] answer that [D] you've always been her lover.
And you [F#m] want to travel with her.
[Em] You want to travel blind, and you [F#m] know she can trust you.
For [Em] you've touched her perfect body [D] with your mind.
[G] [D]
Yes, and Jesus was a sailor when he walked upon the water.
[Dm] [Em] And he spent a long time watching from his lonesome wooden tower.
[D] And when he knew for certain only drowning men could see him,
he [F#m] said all men will be sailors then [Em] until the sea shall free them.
[D] But he himself was broken [Em] long before the sky would open.
[D] Forsaken, almost human, [Em] he sank beneath your wisdom like [D] a stone.
Come with me now.
[F#m] And you want to travel with him.
[Em] You want to travel blind, and [D] you think maybe you'll trust him.
[Em] For he's touched your perfect body [D] with his mind.
[G] [D]
Now Suzanne takes your hand.
She leads you to the river.
[Em] She's wearing rags and feathers from Salvation Army counters.
[D] And the sun pours down like honey on our lady of the harbor.
[F#m] And she shows you where to look amid [Em] the garbage and the flowers.
[A] There [D] are heroes in the seaweed.
There [Em] are children in the morning.
They [Gm] are [D] leaning out for love.
They [Em] will lean that way forever while [D] Suzanne holds the mirror.
And you [F#m] want to travel with him.
And [Em] you want to travel blind, [D] and you know she will find you.
For [Em] she's touched your perfect [E] body [D] with her mind.
