Chords

This doesn't appear on the original album, it's just a bonus track on the reissue, I think Sandy Denny might be on here and not Judy Dyble, please correct me if I'm wrong. There may be different versions, I think the one on the album has Judy Dyble though. F# B F# B F# B

F# 
Suzanne takes you down to a place near the river

G#m 
You can hear the boats go by

G#m 
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

G#m
Then she gets you on her wavelength

G#m
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

 G#m                                  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

G#    
And He spent a long time watching

G#m 
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

G#
Forsaken, almost human

G#                         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

G#                                        F#
For He's touched your perfect body with His mind.

F#
Suzanne takes you down to a place near the river

G#
You can hear the boats go by

G#
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

G#m
And they're leaning out for love

G#m
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

 G#m                                       F#
For you've touched her perfect body with your mind
