Suzanne

Intro E [Verse 1] E Suzanne takes you down E To her place near the river F#m You can hear the boats go by F#m You can spend the night beside her E And you know she’s half crazy E But that’s why you want to be there G#m And she feeds you tea and oranges A That come all the way from China E And just when you mean to tell her F#m7 That you have no love to give her E Then she gets you on her wavelength F#m7 And she lets the river answer E That you’ve always been her lover Chorus G#m And you want to travel with her A And you want to travel blind E And you know that she will trust you F#m E For you’ve touched her perfect body with your mind [Verse 2] E And Jesus was a sailor E When he walked upon the water F#m And he spent a long time watching F#m From his lonely wooden tower E And when he knew for certain E Only drowning men could see him G#m He said “All men will be sailors then A Then until the sea shall free them” E But he himself was broken F#m7 Long before the sky would open E Forsaken, almost human F#m7 E He sank beneath your wisdom like a stone Chorus G#m And you want to travel with him A And you want to travel blind E And you think maybe you’ll trust him F#m E For he’s touched your perfect body with his mind [Verse 3] E Now Suzanne takes your hand E And she leads you to the river F#m She's wearing rags and feathers F#m From Salvation Army counters E And the sun pours down like honey E On Our Lady of the Harbour G#m And she shows you where to look A Among the garbage and the flowers E There are heroes in the seaweed F#m There are children in the morning E They are leaning out for love F#m And they will lean that way forever E While Suzanne holds the mirror Chorus G#m And you want to travel with her A And you want to travel blind E And you know you can trust her F#m E For she’s touched your perfect body with her mind Outro E
