Suzanne (Version Longue) - Geoffrey Oryema Chords

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