Verse 1
G 
Susanne takes you down
to her place by the river
Am 
Dm 
You can hear the boats go by,
Am 
F 
Am 
you can spend the night beside her
G 
And you know that she's half crazy
And that's why you want to be there
Bm 
And she feeds you tea and oranges
C 
That came all the way from China
G 
And just when you mean to tell her
That you have no love to give her
Am 
Then she gets you on
F 
Am 
her wavelength,
F 
and she lets the river answer
Am 
G 
That you've always been her lover
Bm 
And   you want to travel with her,
C 
and you want to travel blind
G 
And  you know she will trust you,
Am 
for you've touched the perfect
G 
body with your mind.
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
C 
then until the sea you'll free them
G 
But he himself was broken,
long before the sky would open
Am 
Forsaken, almost human,
G 
he sank beneath your wisdom like a stone
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 
For He's touched your perfect body
G 
Eb 
with His
Ab 
Now Suzanne takes your hand
and she leads you to the river
Bbm 
She   is wearing rags and feathers
from Salvation Army counter
Ab 
And   the sun pours down like honey
on our lady of the harbor
Cm 
And she shows you where to look
Db 
among the garbage and the flowers
Ab 
There are heroes in the seaweed,
there are children in the morning
Bbm 
They are leaning out for love,
they will lean that way forever
Ab 
While Suzanne holds the mirror
Cm 
And you want to travel with her,
Db 
and you want to travel blind
Ab 
And you know you can trust her
Bbm 
For she's touched your perfect body
Ab 
with her mind
