Chords
Using capo II makes the ukulele chords a bit easier,
but if you transpose up by 2 and skip the capo, it's also not too hard.
After D chords you can try to put in some Dsus4 chords (2230).
[Intro]
D D
[Verse 1]
D D Suzanne takes you down to her place near the river Em Em You can hear the boats go by, you can spend the night beside her D D And you know that she's half-crazy, but that's why you wanna be there F#m G And she feeds you tea and oranges, that come all the way from China D Em And just when you mean to tell her, that you have no love to give her D Em Then she gets you on her wavelength, and she lets the river answer D D That you've always been her lover F#m G And you want to travel with her, and you want to travel blind D Em And you know she will trust you for you've touched her perfect body D D With your mi-i-ind
[Verse 2]
D D And Jesus was a sailor when he walked upon the water Em Em And he spent a long time watching from his lonely wooden tower D D And when he knew for certain, only drowning men could see him F#m G He said: "All men will be sailors then until the sea shall free them" D Em But he himself was broken long before the sky would open D Em Forsaken, almost human, he sank beneath your wisdom D D Like a stone F#m G And you want to travel with him, and you want to travel blind D Em And you think maybe you'll trust him for he's touched your perfect body D D With your mi-i-ind
[Verse 3]
D D Now Suzanne takes your hand, and she leads you to the river Em Em She is wearing rags and feathers from Salvation Army counter D D And the sun pours down like honey on Our Lady of the Harbour F#m G And she shows you where to look among the garbage and the flowers D Em There are heroes in the seaweed, there are children in the morning D Em They are leaning out for love, and they will lean that way forever D D While Suzanne holds the mirror F#m G And you want to travel with her, and you want to travel blind D Em And you know you can trust her for she's touched your perfect body D D With her mi-i-ind
