F#  
Suzanne takes you down to a place near the river 
Abm  
You can hear the boats go by 
Abm  
You can spend the night forever 
F# 
And you know that she's half crazy 
F# 
But that's why you want to be there 
A#  
And she feeds you tea and oranges 
B 
That come all the way from China 
F# 
And just when you want to tell her 
F# 
That you have no love to give her 
Abm 
Then she gets you on her wavelength 
Abm 
And she lets the river answer 
F# 
That you've always been her lover 
A#  
And you want to travel with her 
B 
And you want to travel blind 
F# 
And you think that maybe you'll trust her 
 Abm                                  F#m 
For she's touched your perfect body with her mind. 

F#         
And Jesus was a sailor 
F# 
When He walked upon the water 
Ab     
And He spent a long time watching 
Abm  
From His lonely wooden tower 
F# 
And when He knew for certain 
F# 
Only drowning men could see Him 
A# 
He said 'All men shall be sailors then 
B 
Until the sea shall free them' 
F# 
But He Himself was broken 
F# 
Long before the sky would open 
Ab 
Forsaken, almost human 
Ab                         F# 
He sank beneath your wisdom like a stone 
A#  
And you want to travel with Him 
B 
And you want to travel blind 
F# 
And you think maybe you'll trust Him 
Ab                                        F# 
For He's touched your perfect body with His mind. 


F# 
Suzanne takes you down to a place near the river 
Ab 
You can hear the boats go by 
Ab 
You can spend the night forever 
F#   
And the sun pours down like honey 
F# 
On our lady of the harbour 
A# 
And she shows you where to look 
      B 
Amid the garbage and the flowers 
F# 
There are heroes in the seaweed 
F# 
There are children in the morning 
Abm 
And they're leaning out for love 
Abm 
And they will lean that way forever 
F# 
While Suzanne holds the mirror 

A# 
And you want to travel with her 
B 
And you want to travel blind 
F# 
And you think maybe you'll trust her 
 Abm                                       F# 
For you've touched her perfect body with your mind
