_ Suzanne takes you down to a place by the river.
You can [C#m] hear boats go by.
You can spend the night [D] forever.
[F#] _
[B] You know that she's half crazy. _ _
And that's why you want to be there. _
[D#m] She feeds you tea and oranges [E] that
come all the way from China.
_ [B] _ Just when you mean to tell her that she has,
that you have no love to give her,
_ [C#] _ _ [C#m] she gets you on her wavelength.
_ _ And she lets the [D] river answer [F#]
that you've [B] always
been her lover. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
And you [D#m] want _ to [G#m] travel with her.
[D#m] _
[E] You want to travel blind because you [B] think
_ _ _ maybe you can trust [F#] her.
_ She's touched your perfect body [B] with her mind. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Jesus _ was a sailor when he walked across the water. _
[C#m] And he spent a long time watching
_ from his lonely [D] wooden [F#] tower.
_ [B] _ When he knew for certain _ only drowning men could see him,
he [D#m] said, our men _ will be sailors [E] then
until the sea shall free [B] them.
And he himself was broken _ long _ _ before the sky would [C#] open,
_ [C#m] _ _ forsaken, almost human.
He [D] sank beneath your [F#m] wisdom like [B] a stone. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
And [D#m] you want to travel with him.
And [E] you want to travel blind [B] because you think
maybe you can trust him. _
_ [F#] _ _ He's touched your perfect body with [B] his mind. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Now Suzanne _ takes your hand.
_ And she leads you to the river. _
[C#m] She's wearing _ rags and feathers from _ _ [D] Salvation Army [F#] counters.
[B] And the sun goes down like honey _ on our lady of the harbor.
[D#m] And she shows you where to look [E] beneath the _ flowers.
_ Beneath the flowers [B] and the garbage,
there are heroes in the seaweed. _
There are children in the morning.
They [C#] are leaning out for [C#m] love.
They will lean that way [D] forever [F#] while [B] Suzanne holds a mirror. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ And [D#m] you want to travel with her.
[E] You want to travel blind [B] because you think
maybe you can trust her.
_ [F#] _ _
She's touched your perfect body [B] with her mind.
