Suzanne takes you down to a place near the river
G#m
You can hear the boats go by
G#m
You can spend the night forever
F#
And you know that she's half crazy
F#
But that's why you want to be there
A#
And she feeds you tea and oranges
B
That come all the way from China
F#
And just when you want to tell her
F#
That you have no love to give her
G#m
Then she gets you on her wavelength
G#m
And she lets the river answer
F#
That you've always been her lover
A#
And you want to travel with her
B
And you want to travel blind
F#
And you think that maybe you'll trust her
G#m F#m
For she's touched your perfect body with her mind.
F#
And Jesus was a sailor
F#
When He walked upon the water
G#
And He spent a long time watching
G#m
From His lonely wooden tower
F#
And when He knew for certain
F#
Only drowning men could see Him
A#
He said "All men shall be sailors then
B
Until the sea shall free them"
F#
But He Himself was broken
F#
Long before the sky would open
G#
Forsaken, almost human
G# F#
He sank beneath your wisdom like a stone
A#
And you want to travel with Him
B
And you want to travel blind
F#
And you think maybe you'll trust Him
G# F#
For He's touched your perfect body with His mind.
F#
Suzanne takes you down to a place near the river
G#
You can hear the boats go by
G#
You can spend the night forever
F#
And the sun pours down like honey
F#
On our lady of the harbour
A#
And she shows you where to look
B
Amid the garbage and the flowers
F#
There are heroes in the seaweed
F#
There are children in the morning
G#m
And they're leaning out for love
G#m
And they will lean that way forever
F#
While Suzanne holds the mirror
A#
And you want to travel with her
B
And you want to travel blind
F#
And you think maybe you'll trust her
G#m F#
For you've touched her perfect body with your mind
