Suzanne Chords by Leonard Cohen

[E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Suzanne takes you down to her place near the river.
You [F#m] can hear the boats go by.
You can spend the night [D] [F#m] beside 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
that [F#m] you have no love to give her,
then [E] she gets you on her wavelength
and [F#m] she lets the river answer
that [E] you've always been her lover. _ _
_ _ _ _ And [G#m] you want to travel with her
[A] and you want to travel blind.
And [E] you know that she will trust you
for [F#m] 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 you [A] 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 the Salvation Army counter.
And [E] the sun pours down like honey
on our lady of the harbor.
[Em] And she [G#m] shows you where to look
among [A] the garbage and the flowers.
[E] There are heroes in the seaweed.
_ [F#m] There are children in the morning.
They [E] are leaning out for love.
They [F#m] will 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.
[E] And you think maybe you'll trust her
[F#m] for she's touched your perfect body with her [E] mind.
