E   
Suzanne takes you down to her place by the river  
         F#m  
You can hear the boats go by you can spend the night forever  
          E  
And you know that she's half crazy and that's why you want to be there  
         G#m                                 A  
And she feeds you tea and oranges that come all the way from China  
           E                                 
and just when you think to tell her that you have no love to give her  
          F#m  
Then she gets you on her wavelength and she lets the river answer  
                                E   
That you've always been her lover  
 
 
        G#m                              A  
And you want to travel with her and you want to travel blind  
         E  
and you think that you may trust her  
           F#m                                 E   Esus4    
for she?s touched your perfect body with your mind  
 
 
     E  
And Jesus was a sailor when he walked upon the water   
        F#m  
And he spent a long time watching from a lonely wooden tower  
     E  
And when he knew for certain only drowning men could see him  
         G#m                             A  
he said all men shall be sailors then until the sea shall free them  
    E                             
But he himself was broken long before the sky would open  
   F#m                                                       E   
forsaken almost human he sank beneath the wisdom like a stone  
 
 
G#m                              A  
And you want to travel with her and you want to travel blind  
         E  
and you think that you may trust her  
           F#m                                 E   Esus4    
for she?s touched your perfect body with her mind  
  E 
Suzanne takes you down to her place by the river  
        F#m 
You can hear the boats go by you can spend the night forever  
         E  
And the sun pours down like honey on our lady of the harbor  
         G#m                               A  
And she shows you where to look amid the garbage and the flowers  
           E                                
There are heroes in the seaweed there are children in the morning  
          F#m  
They are leaning out for love and they will lean that way forever  
                             E                     
While Suzanne holds the mirror  
 
 
G#m                              A  
And you want to travel with her and you want to travel blind  
         E  
and you that you may trust her  
           F#m                                 E   Esus4    
for you've touched her perfect body with your mind
