Intro 1
(E major) (E major) (E major) (E major)
Verse 1
Suzanne (E major) takes you down
to her place near the river
You can (F sharp minor) hear the boats go by,
you can spend the night beside her
And you (E major) know that she's half- crazy
but that's why you want to be there
And she (G sharp minor) feeds you tea and oranges
that come (A major) all the way from China
And just (E major) when you mean to tell her
that you (F sharp minor) have no love to give her
Then she (E major) gets you on her wavelength
And she (F sharp minor) lets the river answer
that you've al (E major) ways been her lover (E major)

Chorus 1
And you (G sharp minor) want to travel with her,
and you (A major) want to travel blind
And then you (E major) know that she will trust you
For you've (F sharp minor) touched her perfect body
with your (E major) mind
(E major) (E major)
Verse 2
And (E major) Jesus was a sailor
when he walked upon the water
And he (F sharp minor) spent a long time watching
from his lonely wooden tower
And (E major) when he knew for certain
only drowning men could see him
He said (G sharp minor) all men will be sailors
then un (A major) til the sea shall free them
But (E major) he himself was broken,
long (F sharp minor) before the sky would open
Forsaken, (E major) almost human,
he sank (F sharp minor) beneath your wisdom
like a (E major) stone
(E major) (E major)
Chorus 2
And you (G sharp minor) want to travel with him,
and you (A major) want to travel blind
And then you (E major) think maybe you'll trust him
For he's (F sharp minor) touched your perfect body
with his (E major) mind
(E major) (E major)
Verse 3
Now, Suzanne (E major) takes your hand
and she leads you to the river
She's (F sharp minor) wearing rags and feathers
from Salvation Army counters
And the (E major) sun pours down like honey
on our lady of the harbor
And she (G sharp minor) shows you where to look
among the garbage (A major) and the flowers
There are (E major) heroes in the seaweed,
there are (F sharp minor) children in the morning
They are (E major) leaning out for love
and they will (F sharp minor) lean that way forever
While Suzanne (E major) holds the mirror (E major)
Chorus 3
And you (G sharp minor) want to travel with her,
and you (A major) want to travel blind
And then you (E major) know that you can trust her
For she's (F sharp minor) touched your perfect body
with her mind (E major)
(E major) (E major)
