Suzanne:Neil Diamond. Album - Stones - #17 in UK and #11 on BB Hot 200 on MCA Records in 1971. INTRO: A Bm E A #1. A Suzanne takes you down to her place by the river.. D you can hear the boats go by..you can spend the night forever. A And you know the girl's half crazy and that's why you want to be there. C#m D And she feeds you tea and oranges that come all the A way from China. #2. A And just when you want to tell her that you have no D love to give her..she gets you on her wavelength A and lets the river answer..that you've always been her lover. #3. A And Jesus was a sailor when he walked upon the water D and He spent a long time watching from the lonely wooden tower. A And when he knew for certain only drowning men could C#m D see him he said, "All men are sailors then until the sea shall free them." A But He himself was broken, long before the sky would open. D Forsaken, almost human, He sank beneath your wisdom like A A stone. BRIDGE: C#m D And you want to travel with Him and you want to travel blind. A E And you think that you may trust Him for He's touched your D E A perfect body with His mind. #3. A D Suzanne takes you down to her place by the river..you can hear the boats that go by, you can spend the night forever. A And the sun pours down like honey on our lady of the harbor. C#m D And she shows you where to look amid the garbage and the flowers. A There are heroes in the seaweed..there are children in the morning D They are leaning out for love and they will lean that way forever, A while Suzanne holds her mirror. A seventies smash from Kraziekhat.
