Intro: E

Verse 1:
       E
Suzanne takes you down to her place near the river
        Gbm
You can hear the boats go by, you can spend the night beside her
        E
And you know that she's halfcrazy but that's why you want to be there
        Abm                                    A
And she feeds you tea and oranges that come all the way from China
        E                                   Gbm
And just when you mean to tell her that you have no love to give her
         E
Then she gets you on her wavelength
        Gbm                                 E
And she lets the river answer that you've always been her lover

Chorus:
        Abm                              A
And you want to travel with her, and you want to travel blind
        E
And you know that she will trust you
           Gbm                                E
For you've touched her perfect body with your mind

Verse 2:
    E
And Jesus was a sailor when he walked upon the water
       Gbm
And he spent a long time watching from his lonely wooden tower
        E
And when he knew for certain only drowning men could see him
        Abm                            A
He said all men will be sailors then until the sea shall free them
    E                             Gbm
But he himself was broken, long before the sky would open
   E                           Gbm                           E
Forsaken, almost human, he sank   beneath your wisdom like a stone

Chorus:
        Abm                              A
And you want to travel with him, and you want to travel blind
        E
And you think maybe you'll trust him
         Gbm                                E
For he's touched your perfect body with his mind

Verse 3:
       E
Now, Suzanne takes your hand and she leads you to the river
      Gbm
She's wearing rags and feathers from Salvation Army counters
        E
And the sun pours down like honey on our lady of the harbor
        Abm                                  A
And she shows you where to look among the garbage and the flowers
         E                                 Gbm
There are heroes in the seaweed, there are children in the morning
         E                                 Gbm
They are leaning out for love and they wil lean that way forever
             E
While Suzanne holds her mirror

Chorus:
        Abm                              A
And you want to travel with her, and you want to travel blind
        E
And you know that you can trust her
          Gbm                                    E
For she's touched your perfect body with her mind
