[E]
Suzanne takes you down to her place near the river.
[F#m] You can hear the boats go by, you can spend the night [Bm] [F#m] beside her.
[E] And you know that she's half crazy, but that's why you want to be there.
[G#m] And she feeds you tea and oranges that [A] come all the way from China.
[E] And just when you mean to tell her that you [F#m] have no love to give her,
[E] then she gets you on her wavelength, [F#m] and she lets the river answer that [E] you've always been her lover.
[G#m] And you want to travel with her, and you [A] want to travel blind,
[E] and you know she will trust you, [F#m] for you've touched her perfect body with [E] your mind.
And Jesus was a sailor when he walked upon the water,
and [F#m] he spent a long time watching from his lonely wooden tower.
[E] And when he knew for certain only drowning men could see,
he [G#m] said all men will be sailors then [A] until the sea [B] 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 [A] you 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 Salvation Army counter,
and [E] the sun pours down like honey on our lady of the harbor.
[G] And [G#m] she shows you where to look among [A] the garbage and the flowers.
There [E] are heroes in the seaweed, [F#m] there are children in the morning,
[E] they are leaning out for love, and they will [F#m] 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,
and [E] you can trust her, [F#m] for she's touched your perfect body [E] with her mind.
