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