Tone: [E]
Intro:
[E]
Verse 1:
Suzanne[E]Suzanne takes you down to her place near the river
You can [Gbm]hear the boats go by, you can spend the night beside her
And you [E]know that she's halfcrazy but that's why you want to be there
And she [Abm]feeds you tea and oranges that come all[A]all the way from China
And just[E]just when you mean to tell her that you [Gbm]have no love to give her
Then she [E]gets you on her wavelength
And she [Gbm]lets the river answer that you've al[E]always been her lover
Chorus:
And you [Abm]want to travel with her, and you [A]want to travel blind
And you [E]know that she will trust you
For you've [Gbm]touched her perfect body with your [E]mind
Verse 2:
And [E]Jesus was a sailor when he walked upon the water
And he [Gbm]spent a long time watching from his lonely wooden tower
And when[E]when he knew for certain only drowning men could see him
He said [Abm]all men will be sailors then un[A]until the sea shall free them
But [E]he himself was broken, long be[Gbm]before the sky would open
For[E]Forsaken, almost human, he sank[Gbm]sank beneath your wisdom like a [E]stone
Chorus:
And you [Abm]want to travel with him, and you [A]want to travel blind
And you [E]think maybe you'll trust him
For he's [Gbm]touched your perfect body with his [E]mind
Verse 3:
Now, Su[E]Suzanne takes your hand and she leads you to the river
She's [Gbm]wearing rags and feathers from Salvation Army counters
And the [E]sun pours down like honey on our lady of the harbor
And she [Abm]shows you where to look among the gar[A]garbage and the flowers
There are[E]are heroes in the seaweed, there are [Gbm]children in the morning
They are [E]leaning out for love and they wil [Gbm]lean that way forever
While Suzanne[E]Suzanne holds her mirror
Chorus:
And you [Abm]want to travel with her, and you [A]want to travel blind
And you [E]know that you can trust her
For she's [Gbm]touched your perfect body with her mind[E]mind
