Worked out on request for RobinL241, the girl with the hat. If you like my "work" don't hesitate to add favorite or to give it the STARS it deserves (with explanation?).

  C                    C
Suzanne takes you down to a place by the river

        F                            F
You can hear the boats go by You can spend the night forever

        C                          C
And you know that she's half crazy   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                                    C
  And just when you want to tell her   That you have no love to give her

         F                          F
Then she gets you on her wavelength And lets the river answer

            C                    C
That you've always been her lover
[Chorus]
        Em                              F
And you want to travel with her And you want to travel blind

        C                             F                          Dm
And you think you maybe trust her For she's touched your perfect body

         C              C
with her mind
[Verse 2]
C                      C
And Jesus was a sailor When he walked upon the water

       F                               F
And he stood a long time watching From a lonely wooden tower

C                              C
  And when he knew for certain   Only drowning men could see him

   Em                                    F
He said "All men shall be sailors then Until the sea shall free them"

C                           C
  But he himself was broken Long before the sky could open

F                      F
Forsaken, almost human He sank beneath your wisdom

       C                    C
like a stone
[Chorus]
        Em                              F
And you want to travel with her And you want to travel blind

        C                             F                          Dm
And you think you maybe trust her For she's touched your perfect body

         C              C
with her mind
[Verse 3]
C                        C
  Suzanne takes you down To a place by the river

    F                                  F
You can hear the boats go by You could spend the night forever

C                                 C
And the sun pours down like honey On our lady of the harbour

        Em                                  F
And she shows you where to look Beneath the garbage and the flowers

      C                         C
There are heroes in the seaweed   And children in the morning

         F                         F
They are looking out for love They will look that way forever

        C                       C
While Suzanne holds the mirror
[End-Chorus]
        Em                              F
And you want to travel with her And you want to travel blind

        C                             F                          Dm
And you think you maybe trust her For she's touched your perfect body

         C              C         C**  C*
with her mind
