Chords with lyrics

Intro:
D MajorD

Verse:
D MajorD
Suzanne takes you down to a place by the river
    E minorEm
You can hear the boats go by, you can spend the night forever
    D MajorD
And you know that she's half crazy, that's why you want to be there
    F# minorF#m                 G+G
And she feeds you tea and oranges that come all the way from China
   D MajorD
Just when you want to tell her, that you have no love to give her
  E minorEm
She gets you on her wavelength and she lets the river answer
      D MajorD
That you've always been her lover
    F# minorF#m               G+G
And you want to travel with her, and you want to travel blind
    D MajorD
And you think you maybe trust her
    E minorEm                 D MajorD
For she touched your perfect body with her mind

Verse:
  D MajorD
And Jesus was a sailor when he walked upon the water
    E minorEm
And he spent a long time watching from a lonely wooden tower
  D MajorD
And when he knew for certain only drowning men could see him
     F# minorF#m               G+G
He said "All men shall be sailors then until the sea shall free them"
  D MajorD
And he himself was broken long before the sky would open
  E minorEm                           D MajorD
Forsaken, almost human, he sank beneath your wisdom like a stone
    F# minorF#m               G+G
And you want to travel with him and you want to travel blind
    D MajorD
And you think you maybe trust him
  E minorEm                  D MajorD
For he touched your perfect body with his mind

Verse:
D MajorD
Suzanne takes you down to a place by the river
    E minorEm
You can hear the boats go by, you can spend the night forever
    D MajorD
And the sun pours down like honey on our lady of the harbour
    F# minorF#m               G+G
And she shows you where to look amid the garbage and the flowers
     D MajorD
There are heroes in the seaweed, there are children in the morning
    E minorEm
They're leaning out for love and they will lean that way forever
    D MajorD
While Suzanne holds the mirror
    F# minorF#m               G+G
And you want to travel with her and you want to travel blind
    D MajorD
And you think you maybe trust her
    E minorEm                 D MajorD
For she touched your perfect body with her mind
