| Intro: |
| E Esus4 E |
| E Esus4 |
| Suzanne takes you down |
| E Esus4 |
| To her place near the river |
| F#m F#m4 |
| You can hear the boats go by |
| F#m F#m4 |
| You can spend the night beside her |
| E Esus4 |
| And you know that she's half crazy |
| E Esus4 |
| But that's why you want to be there |
| Abm Abm4 |
| And she feeds you tea and oranges |
| A Asus4 |
| That come all the way from China |
| E Esus4 |
| And just when you mean to tell her |
| F#m F#m4 |
| That you have no love to give her |
| E Esus4 |
| Then she gets you on her wavelenght |
| F#m F#m4 |
| And she lets the river answer |
| E Esus4 Esus4 E Esus4 E |
| That you've always been her lover |
| Abm Abm4 |
| And you want to travel with her |
| A Asus4 |
| And you want to travel blind |
| E Esus4 |
| And you know that she will trust you |
| F#m F#m4 E |
| For you've touched her perfect body with your mind. |
| Bridge: |
| E Esus4 E x2 |
| E Esus4 |
| And Jesus was a sailor |
| E Esus4 |
| When he walked upon the water |
| F#m F#m4 |
| And he spent a long time watching |
| F#m F#m4 |
| From his lonely wooden tower |
| E Esus4 |
| And when he knew for certain |
| E Esus4 |
| Only drowning men could see him |
| Abm Abm4 |
| He said: "All men will be sailors then |
| A Asus4 |
| Until the sea shall free them" |
| E Esus4 |
| But he himself was broken |
| F#m F#m4 |
| Long before the sky would open |
| E Esus4 |
| Forsaken, almost human |
| F#m F#m4 E Esus4 E Esus4 E |
| He sank beneath your wisdom like a stone |
| Abm Abm4 |
| And you want to travel with him |
| A Asus4 |
| And you want to travel blind |
| E Esus4 |
| And you think maybe you'll trust him |
| F#m F#m4 E |
| For he's touched your perfect body with his mind. |
| Bridge: |
| E Esus4 E x2 |
| E Esus4 |
| Now Suzanne takes your hand |
| E Esus4 |
| And she leads you to the river |
| F#m F#m4 |
| She is wearing rags and feathers |
| F#m F#m4 |
| From Salvation Army counters |
| E Esus4 |
| And the sun pours down like honey |
| E Esus4 |
| On our lady of the harbour |
| Abm Abm4 |
| And she shows you where to look |
| A Asus4 |
| Among the garbage and the flowers |
| E Esus4 |
| There are heroes in the seaweed |
| F#m F#m4 |
| There are children in the morning |
| E Esus4 |
| They are leaning out for love |
| F#m F#m4 |
| And they will lean that way forever |
| E Esus4 Esus4 E Esus4 E |
| While Suzanne holds the mirror |
| Abm Abm4 |
| And you want to travel with her |
| A Asus4 |
| And you want to travel blind |
| E Esus4 |
| And you know that you can trust her |
| F#m F#m4 E |
| For she's touched your perfect body with her mind. |
| Bridge: |
| E F#m E E x4 |
