[Intro]

[Verse]
E                       
■ Suzanne takes you down
             E             
To her place near the river
Gbm                    Gbm7 
You can hear the boats go by
Gbm                     Gbm7      
You can spend the night beside her
E                            
And you know she's half crazy
                   E             
But that's why you wanna be there
Abm                              
And she feeds you tea and oranges
                      A         
That come all the way from China
                  E               
And just when you mean to tell her
Gbm7                             
That you have no love to give her
E                                  
Then she gets you on her wavelength
Gbm              Gbm7        
And she lets the river answer
E                                
That you've always been her lover


[Chorus]
Abm                            
And you want to travel with her
                A           
And you want to travel blind
E                                   
And you know that she will trust you
Gbm7                                E             
For you've touched her perfect body with your mind


[Verse]
E                     
And Jesus was a sailor
E                            
When he walked upon the water
Gbm7                             
And he spent a long time watching
Gbm7                        
From his lonely wooden tower
E                           
And when he knew for certain
E                              
Only drowning men could see him
Abm                            
He said All men will be sailors
A                                 
Then until the sea shall free them
E                        
But he himself was broken
Gbm7 Gbm                      
Long before the sky would open


[Chorus]
E                    
Forsaken almost human
Gbm7                        E           
He sank beneath your wisdom like a stone
Abm                          
And you wanna travel with him
A                         
And you wanna travel blind
E                                   
And you think maybe you'll trust him
Gbm7                               E        A    E
For he's touched your perfect body with his mind ■


[Verse]
E                          
Now Suzanne takes your hand
Emaj7             E           
And she leads you to the river
Gbm                            
She's wearing rags and feathers
               Gbm7         
From Salvation Army counters
E                                
And the sun pours down like honey
E                        
On Our Lady of the Harbor
Abm                                  
And she shows you where to look among
A                          
The garbage and the flowers
E                              
There are heroes in the seaweed
Gb7                              
There are children in the morning
Gbm7     E                   
They are leaning out for love
Gbm                                
And they will lean that way forever
E                             
While Suzanne holds the mirror


[Chorus]
Abm                            
And you want to travel with her
A                           
And you want to travel blind
E                                  
And you know that you can trust her
Gbm7                                E        A   
For she's touched your perfect body with her mind
