Verse 1:
G
Suzanne takes you down to her place near the river
        Am
You can hear the boats go by

You can spend the night beside her
        G
And you know that she's half crazy

But that's why you want to be there
        Bm
And she feeds you tea and oranges
          C
That come all the way from China
         G
And just when you mean to tell her
         Am
That you have no love to give her
         G
Then she gets you on her wavelength
        Am
And she lets the river answer
            G
That you've always been her lover

Intstrumental:
G

Chorus:
        Bm
And you want to travel with her
        C
And you want to travel blind
        G
And you know that she will trust you
           Am                                 G
For you've touched her perfect body with your mind

Instrumental:
G

Verse 2:
    G
And Jesus was a sailor

When he walked upon the water
       Am
And he spent a long time watching

From his lonely wooden tower
    G
And when he knew for certain

Only drowning men could see him
         Bm
He said "All men will be sailors then
  C
Until the sea shall free them"
    G
But he himself was broken
       Am
Long before the sky would open
   G
Forsaken, almost human
   Am                              G
He sank beneath your wisdom like a stone

Instrumental:
G

Chorus:
        Bm
And you want to travel with him
        C
And you want to travel blind
        G
And you think maybe you'll trust him
         Am                                 G
For he's touched your perfect body with his mind

Instrumental:
G

Verse 3:
    G
And Suzanne takes your hand

And she leads you to the river
       Am
She is wearing rags and feathers

From Salvation Army counters
        G
And the sun pours down like honey

On Our Lady of the Harbour
        Bm
And she shows you where to look
          C
Among the garbage and the flowers
          G
There are heroes in the seaweed
          Am
There are children in the morning
         G
They are leaning out for love
              Am
And they will lean that way forever
         G
While Suzanne holds the mirror

Instrumental:
G

Chorus:
        Bm
And you want to travel with her
        C
And you want to travel blind
        G
And you know you can trust her
          Am                                 G
For she's touched your perfect body with her mind
