1. Suzanne takes you down, to her place near the river,
Em
you can hear the boats go by, you can spend the night beside her,
D
and you know she's half-crazy, but that's why you want to be there,
F#m G
and she feeds you tea & oranges, that come all the way from China,
D Em
and just when you mean to tell her, that you have no love to give her,
D Em
then she gets you on her wavelength, and she lets the river answer
D
that you've always been her lover.
F#m G
R. And you want to travel with her, and you want to travel blind,
D
and you know that she will trust you,
Em D
for you've touched her perfect body with your mind.

2. And Jesus was a sailor, when he walked upon the water,
Em
And he spent a long time watching, from his lonely wooden tower,
D
And when he knew for certain, only drowning men could see him,
F#m G
he said 'All men will be sailors then, until the sea shall free them',
D Em
but he himself was broken, long before the sky would open,
D Em D
forsaken, almost human, he sank beneath your wisdom like a stone.
F#m G
R. And you want to travel with him, and you want to travel blind,
D
and you think maybe you'll trust him,
Em D
for he's touched your perfect body, with his mind.
D
3. Now Suzanne takes your hand and she leads you to the river,
Em
she is wearing rags and feathers, from Salvation Army counters,
D
and the sun pours down like honey, on our lady of the harbour,
F#m G
and she shows you where to look, among the garbage and the flowers,
D Em
there are heroes in the seaweed, there are children in the morning,
D Em
they are leaning out for love, and they will lean that way forever,
D
while Suzanne holds the mirror.
F#m G
R. And you want to travel with her, and you want to travel blind,
D
and you know you can trust her,
Em D
for she's touched your perfect body with her mind.
