Intro: D Verse: D Suzanne takes you down to a place by the river Em You can hear the boats go by, you can spend the night forever D And you know that she's half crazy, that's why you want to be there F#m G And she feeds you tea and oranges that come all the way from China D Just when you want to tell her, that you have no love to give her Em She gets you on her wavelength and she lets the river answer D That you've always been her lover F#m G And you want to travel with her, and you want to travel blind D And you think you maybe trust her Em D For she touched your perfect body with her mind
Verse: D And Jesus was a sailor when he walked upon the water Em And he spent a long time watching from a lonely wooden tower D And when he knew for certain only drowning men could see him F#m G He said "All men shall be sailors then until the sea shall free them" D And he himself was broken long before the sky would open Em D Forsaken, almost human, he sank beneath your wisdom like a stone F#m G And you want to travel with him and you want to travel blind D And you think you maybe trust him Em D For he touched your perfect body with his mind Verse: D Suzanne takes you down to a place by the river Em You can hear the boats go by, you can spend the night forever D And the sun pours down like honey on our lady of the harbour F#m G And she shows you where to look amid the garbage and the flowers D There are heroes in the seaweed, there are children in the morning Em They're leaning out for love and they will lean that way forever D While Suzanne holds the mirror F#m G And you want to travel with her and you want to travel blind D And you think you maybe trust her Em D For she touched your perfect body with her mind Outro: D
