Verse 1
C

Suzanne takes you down

to her place near the river
Dm

You can hear the boats go by,

you can spend the night beside her
C

And you know that she's half- crazy

but that's why you want to be there
Em

And she feeds you tea and oranges
F

that come all the way from China
C

And just when you mean to tell her
Dm

that you have no love to give her
C

Then she gets you on her wavelength
Dm

And she lets the river answer
C
C

that you've always been her lover
Chorus 1
Em

And you want to travel with her,
F

and you want to travel blind
C

And then you know that she will trust you
Dm

For you've touched her perfect body
C

with your mind
C
C

Verse 2
C

And Jesus was a sailor

when he walked upon the water
Dm

And he spent a long time watching

from his lonely wooden tower
C

And when he knew for certain

only drowning men could see him
Em

He said all men will be sailors
F

then until the sea shall free them
C

But he himself was broken,
Dm

long before the sky would open
C

Forsaken, almost human,
Dm

he sank beneath your wisdom
C

like a stone
C
C

Chorus 2
Em

And you want to travel with him,
F

and you want to travel blind
C

And then you think maybe you'll trust him
Dm

For he's touched your perfect body
C

with his mind
C
C

Verse 3
C

Now, Suzanne takes your hand

and she leads you to the river
Dm

She's wearing rags and feathers

from Salvation Army counters
C

And the sun pours down like honey

on our lady of the harbor
Em

And she shows you where to look
F

among the garbage and the flowers
C

There are heroes in the seaweed,
Dm

there are children in the morning
C

They are leaning out for love
Dm

and they will lean that way forever
C
C

While Suzanne holds the mirror
Chorus 3
Em

And you want to travel with her,
F

and you want to travel blind
C

And then you know that you can trust her
Dm

For she's touched your perfect body
C

with her mind
C

  • Best Tuning App Ever

    MaddProfessor

    I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

  • Well-Designed App

    Rose the Black Cat

    I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

  • Got me back into playing

    Tuliketsune

    I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

  • Secret weapon

    Brad

    Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

  • Very reliable tuner

    theNewPaul

    This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

  • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

    Caleb Schafli

    It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

  • Great to tune and play

    Lynae T

    I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
