Intro: A Bm E A 

#1. 
A 
Suzanne takes you down to her place by the river.. 
D 
you can hear the boats go by..you can spend the  

night forever. 
        A 
And you know the girl's half crazy and that's why  

you want to be there. 
        C#m                                 D 
And she feeds you tea and oranges that come all the  
         A 
way from China. 

#2. 
A 
And just when you want to tell her that you have no  
                      D 
love to give her..she gets you on her wavelength 
                                       A 
and lets the river answer..that you've always been  

her lover. 

#3. 
A 
And Jesus was a sailor when he walked upon the water 
       D 
and He spent a long time watching from the lonely wooden  

tower. 
    A 
And when he knew for certain only drowning men could  
                  C#m                      D 
see him he said, 'All men are sailors then until the sea  

shall free them.' 
    A 
But He himself was broken, long before the sky would open. 
   D                                          
Forsaken, almost human, He sank beneath your wisdom like  
  A 
A stone. 

Bridge: 

        C#m                             D 
And you want to travel with Him and you want to travel blind. 
        A                                     E 
And you think that you may trust Him for He's touched your  
D       E             A 
perfect body with His mind. 

#3. 
A                                                         D 
Suzanne takes you down to her place by the river..you can hear  

the boats that go by, you can spend the night forever. 
        A 
And the sun pours down like honey on our lady of the harbor. 
        C#m                              D 
And she shows you where to look amid the garbage and the flowers. 
          A 
There are heroes in the seaweed..there are children in the morning 
         D 
They are leaning out for love and they will lean that way forever, 
      A 
while Suzanne holds her mirror.
