[Verse]
<b class="chord">E</b>
Suzanne takes you down, to her place near the river
<b class="chord">F#m</b>
You can hear the boats go by, you can spend the night beside her
<b class="chord">E</b>
And you know she's half-crazy, but that's why you want to be there
<b class="chord">G#m</b> <b class="chord">A</b>
And she feeds you tea & oranges, that come all the way from China
<b class="chord">E</b> <b class="chord">F#m</b>
And just when you mean to tell her, that you have no love to give her
<b class="chord">E</b> <b class="chord">F#m</b>
Then she gets you on her wavelength, and she lets the river answer
<b class="chord">E</b>
That you've always been her lover
[Chorus]
<b class="chord">G#m</b> <b class="chord">A</b>
And you want to travel with her, and you want to travel blind
<b class="chord">E</b>
And you know that she will trust you,
<b class="chord">F#m</b> <b class="chord">E</b>
For you've touched her perfect body with your mind
[Verse]
<b class="chord">E</b>
And Jesus was a sailor, when he walked upon the water
<b class="chord">F#m</b>
And he spent a long time watching, from his lonely wooden tower
<b class="chord">E</b>
And when he knew for certain, only drowning men could see him
<b class="chord">G#m</b> <b class="chord">A</b>
he said 'All men will be sailors then, until the sea shall free them'
<b class="chord">E</b> <b class="chord">F#m</b>
But he himself was broken, long before the sky would open
<b class="chord">E</b> <b class="chord">F#m</b> <b class="chord">E</b>
Forsaken, almost human, he sank beneath your wisdom like a stone
[Chorus]
<b class="chord">G#m</b> <b class="chord">A</b>
And you want to travel with him, and you want to travel blind
<b class="chord">E</b>
And you think maybe you'll trust him,
<b class="chord">F#m</b> <b class="chord">E</b>
For he's touched your perfect body, with his mind
[Verse]
<b class="chord">E</b>
Now Suzanne takes your hand and she leads you to the river
<b class="chord">F#m</b>
She is wearing rags and feathers, from Salvation Army counters
<b class="chord">E</b>
And the sun pours down like honey, on our lady of the harbour
<b class="chord">G#m</b> <b class="chord">A</b>
And she shows you where to look, among the garbage and the flowers
<b class="chord">E</b> <b class="chord">F#m</b>
There are heroes in the seaweed, there are children in the morning
<b class="chord">E</b> <b class="chord">F#m</b>
They are leaning out for love, and they will lean that way forever
<b class="chord">E</b>
While Suzanne holds the mirror
[Chorus]
<b class="chord">G#m</b> <b class="chord">A</b>
And you want to travel with her, and you want to travel blind
<b class="chord">E</b>
And you know you can trust her,
<b class="chord">F#m</b> <b class="chord">E</b>
For she's touched your perfect body with her mind
