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