{Intro] D [Verse 1] Suzanne takes you down to a place near the river
        Em
You can hear the boats go by

                           D
You can spend the night forever
And you know that she's half crazy But that's why you want to be there
        F#m
And she feeds you tea and oranges

          G
That come all the way from China

    D
And just when you want to tell her
That you have no love to give her
    Em
She gets you on her wavelength
And lets the river answer
            D
That you've always been her lover
[Chorus]
        F#m
And you want to travel with her

        G
And you want to travel blind

        D
And you think that maybe you'll trust her

          Em                                 D
For she's touched your perfect body with her mind
[Verse 2] And Jesus was a sailor When he walked upon the water
       Em
And he spent a long time watching
From a lonely wooden tower
    D
And when he knew for certain
Only drowning men could see him
   F#m
He said, "All men shall be sailors then

G
Until the sea shall free them"

    D
But he himself was broken
Long before the sky would open
Em
Forsaken, almost human

                                   D
He sank beneath your wisdom like a stone
[Chorus]
        F#m
And you want to travel with him

        G
And you want to travel blind

        D
And you think maybe you'll trust him

         Em                                 D
For he's touched your perfect body with his mind
[Verse 3] Suzanne takes you down to a place by the river
        Em
You can hear the boats go by
You can spend the night forever
        D
And the sun pours down like honey
On our lady of the harbour
        F#m
And she shows you where to look

         G
Amid the garbage and the flowers

          D
There are heroes in the seaweed
There are children in the morning
         Em
They are leaning out for love
And they will lean that way forever
        D
While Suzanne holds the mirror
[Chorus]
        F#m
And you want to travel with her

        G
And you want to travel blind

        D
And you think maybe you'll trust her

           Em                                 D
For you've touched her perfect body with your mind
