FAIRPORT CONVENTION "SUZANNE" FAIRPORT CONVENTION (1968) This doesn't appear on the original album, it's just a bonus track on the reissue, I think Sandy Denny might be on here and not Judy Dyble, please correct me if I'm wrong there may be different versions, I think the one on the album has Judy Dyble though F# B F# B F# B F# Suzanne takes you down to a place near the river Abm You can hear the boats go by Abm 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 Abm Then she gets you on her wavelength Abm 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 Abm 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 Ab And He spent a long time watching Abm 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 Ab Forsaken, almost human Ab 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 Ab F# For He's touched your perfect body with His mind. F# Suzanne takes you down to a place near the river Ab You can hear the boats go by Ab 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 Abm And they're leaning out for love Abm 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 Abm F# For you've touched her perfect body with your mind
