[F] Suzanne takes you down to her place by the river

You can [Gm] hear the boats go by you can spend the night beside her

And you [F] know that she's half crazy but that's why you want to be there

And she [Am] feeds you tea and oranges that come [Bb] all the way from China

And just [F] when you mean to tell her that you [Gm] have no love to give her

Then she [F] gets you on her wavelength and she [Gm] lets the river answer

That you've [F] always been her lover

And you [Am] want to travel with her and you [Bb] want to travel blind

And you [F] know that she will trust you

For you've [Gm] touched her perfect body with your [F] mind

[F] And Jesus was a sailor when He walked upon the water

And He [Gm] spent a long time watching from his lonely wooden tower

And [F] when He knew for certain only drowning men could see Him

He said [Am] All men will be sailors then un[Bb]til the sea shall free them

But [F] He Himself was broken long be[Gm]fore the sky would open

For[F]saken almost human He [Gm] sank beneath your wisdom like a [F] stone

And you [Am] want to travel with him and you [Bb] want to travel blind

And you [F] think maybe you'll trust him

For he's [Gm] touched your perfect body with his [F] mind

[F] Suzanne takes your hand and she leads you to the river

She is [Gm] wearing rags and feathers from Salvation Army counters

And the [F] sun pours down like honey on our lady of the harbor

And she [Am] shows you where to look among the [Bb] garbage and the flowers

There are [F] heroes in the seaweed there are [Gm] children in the morning

They are [F] leaning out for love and they will [Gm] lean that way forever

While Su[F] zanne holds the mirror

And you [Am] want to travel with her and you [Bb] want to travel blind

And you [F] know that you will trust her

For she's [Gm] touched your perfect body with her [F] mind
