Bear's Den - Suzanne (Leonard Cohen cover) G : 000000 or 004300 Am: 220100 Bm: 440300 C : 550500 [Intro] G [Verse 1]
G
Suzanne takes you down to her place near the river

        Am
You can hear the boats go by
You can spend the night beside her
        G
And you know that she's half crazy
But that's why you want to be there
        Bm
And she feeds you tea and oranges

          C
That come all the way from China

         G
And just when you mean to tell her

         Am
That you have no love to give her

         G
Then she gets you on her wavelength

        Am
And she lets the river answer

            G
That you've always been her lover
[Intstrumental] G [Chorus]
        Bm
And you want to travel with her

        C
And you want to travel blind

        G
And you know that she will trust you

           Am                                 G
For you've touched her perfect body with your mind
[Instrumental] G [Verse 2]
    G
And Jesus was a sailor
When he walked upon the water
       Am
And he spent a long time watching
From his lonely wooden tower
    G
And when he knew for certain
Only drowning men could see him
         Bm
He said "All men will be sailors then

  C
Until the sea shall free them"

    G
But he himself was broken

       Am
Long before the sky would open

   G
Forsaken, almost human

   Am                              G
He sank beneath your wisdom like a stone
[Instrumental] G [Chorus]
        Bm
And you want to travel with him

        C
And you want to travel blind

        G
And you think maybe you'll trust him

         Am                                 G
For he's touched your perfect body with his mind
[Instrumental] G [Verse 3]
    G
And Suzanne takes your hand
And she leads you to the river
       Am
She is wearing rags and feathers
From Salvation Army counters
        G
And the sun pours down like honey
On Our Lady of the Harbour
        Bm
And she shows you where to look

          C
Among the garbage and the flowers

          G
There are heroes in the seaweed

          Am
There are children in the morning

         G
They are leaning out for love

              Am
And they will lean that way forever

         G
While Suzanne holds the mirror
[Instrumental] G [Chorus]
        Bm
And you want to travel with her

        C
And you want to travel blind

        G
And you know you can trust her

          Am                                 G
For she's touched your perfect body with her mind
[Outro] G
