C                                              C   
Suzanne takes you down to her place near the river,   
               Dm                                            Dm   
You can hear the boats go by, you can spend the night beside her,   
               C                                                         C   
And you know that she's half crazy, and that's why you want to be there,   
                Em                                                       F   
And she feeds you tea and oranges, that come all the way from China.   
        C                                                           Dm   
And just when you mean to tell her that you have no love to give her,   
        C                                               Dm   
She gets you on her wavelength, and lets the river answer   
                     C   
That you've always been her lover   
 
[Refrão]
               Em                                             F   
And you want to travel with her, and you want to travel blind.   
                C     
And you know that she will trust you,   
                  Dm                      E              E7     C   
Cause you touched her perfect body with your mind.   
         C                                C   
And Jesus was a sailor, when he walked upon the water.   
Dm                                        Dm   
And he spent a long time watching from his lonely wooden tower.   
   C                                                   C   
And when he knew for certain, only drowning men could see him,   
       Em                                                      F   
He said, " All men will be sailors, then, Until the sea shall free them."   
       C                                              Dm   
But he himself was broken, long before the sky would open.   
       C   
Foresaken, almost human.   
                Dm                                       C   
He sank beneath your wisdom like a stone.   

[Refrão]
               Em                                             F   
And you want to travel with him, and you want to travel blind.   
                C     
And you think maybe you'll trust him,   
                   Dm                                                C   
Cause he touched you perfect body with his mind.   
      C                                              C   
Now, Suzanne takes your hand and she leads you to the river,   
               Dm                                           Dm   
She is wearing rags and feathers from Salvation Army counters,   
              C                                                     C   
And the sun pours down like honey, on our lady of the harbour.   
                 Em                                                  F   
And she shows you where to look, among the garbage and the flowers.   
              C                                                     Dm   
There are heroes in the seaweed, there are children in the morning.   
                 C                                           Dm   
They are leaning out for love, and they will lean that way forever.   
          C   
While Suzanne holds the mirror.

               Em                                            F   
And you want to travel with her, and you want to travel blind.   
                C     
And you know you can trust her,   
                  Dm                   E              E7     C                                    C   
For shes touched your perfect body with her mind.
