G
Suzanne takes you down To her place by the river,You can
Am
hear the boats go by, You can spend the night beside her,And you
G
know that she’s half crazy, And that’s why you want to be there;And she
Bm
feeds you tea and oranges That come
C
all the way from China;And j
G
ust when you mean to tell her That you have no love to give her,She
Am
gets you on her wave-length And lets the river answerThat you’ve
G
always been her lover.
{start_of_chorus}And you
Bm
want to travel with her, And you
C
want to travel blind,And you
G
know that you can trust her,For you’ve
Am
touched her perfect body With your
G
mind.{end_of_chorus}
G
And Jesus was a sailor When He walked upon the water,And he
Am
spent a long time watching From a lonely wooden tower,And when
G
he knew for certain Only drowning men could see Him,He said,
Bm
”All men shall be brothers, then, Until
C
the sea shall free them,”But
G
He himself was broken Long before the sky would open,For
Am
saken, almost human, He sank beneath your wisdomLike a
G
stone.
{start_of_chorus}And you
Bm
want to travel with Him, And you
C
want to travel blind,And you
G
think you maybe trust Him,For He’s
Am
touched your perfect body With His
G
mind.
G
Suzanne takes you down To her place by the river,You can
Am
hear the boats go by, You can spend the night forever,And the
G
sun pours down like honey, On our lady of the harbour;And she
Bm
shows you where to look Amid the
C
garbage and the flowers.There are
G
heroes in the seaweed, There are children in the morning,They are
Am
leaning out for love, And they will lean that way forever,While Su
G
zanne holds the mirror.
{start_of_chorus}And you
Bm
want to travel with her, And you
C
want to travel blind,And you
G
know that you can trust her,For you’ve
Am
touched her perfect body With your
G
mind.{end_of_chorus}
