G G 
 
D D 
 
G G 
 
D D 
 
G G 
 
D D 
 
Suzanne takes
G G 
 
you down to her place near the river
D D 
 
Em Em 
 
You can hear the boats go by
You can spend the night beside her
G G 
 
And you know that she's half crazy
D D 
 
G G 
 
But that's why you want to be there
D D 
 
F#m F#m 
 
And she feeds you tea
and oranges
G G 
 
That come all the way from China
D D 
 
And just when you mean to tell her
Em Em 
 
That you have no love to give her
G G 
 
D D 
 
G G 
 
Then she gets you on her wavelength
Em Em 
 
And she lets the river answer
G G 
 
D D 
 
That you've always been her lover

Verse 2
F#m F#m 
 
And you want  to travel with her
G G 
 
And you want to travel blind
D D 
 
G G 
 
D D 
 
And you know that she will trust you
Em Em 
 
For you've touched her perfect
G G 
 
D D 
 
body with your mind

Verse 3
D D 
 
G G 
 
D D 
 
And Jesus was a sailor
G G 
 
D D 
 
When he walked upon the water
Em Em 
 
And he spent a long time watching
G G 
 
Em Em 
 
G G 
 
From his lonely wooden tower
D D 
 
G G 
 
And when he knew for certain
D D 
 
G G 
 
D D 
 
Only drowning men could see him
F#m F#m 
 
He said "All  men will be sailors then
G G 
 
Until the sea shall free them"
D D 
 
But he himself was broken
Em Em 
 
G G 
 
Long before the sky would open
D D 
 
Forsaken, almost human
Em Em 
 
He sank beneath your
G G 
 
D D 
 
wisdom like a stone
A A 
 
F#m F#m 
 
And you want  to travel with him
G G 
 
And you want to travel blind
D D 
 
And you think maybe you'll trust him
Em Em 
 
For he's touched your perfect
G G 
 
D D 
 
body with his mind

Verse 4
D D 
 
G G 
 
D D 
 
Now Suzanne takes your hand
G G 
 
D D 
 
And she leads you to the river
Em Em 
 
She is wearing rags and feathers
A A 
 
G G 
 
Em Em 
 
G G 
 
From Salvation Army counters
D D 
 
G G 
 
And the sun pours down like honey
D D 
 
G G 
 
D D 
 
On our lady of the harbour
F#m F#m 
 
And   she shows you where to look
A A 
 
G G 
 
C C 
 
Among the garbage and the flowers
G G 
 
D D 
 
G G 
 
There are heroes in the seaweed
D D 
 
Em Em 
 
G G 
 
There are children in the morning
D D 
 
G G 
 
D D 
 
They are leaning out for love
Em Em 
 
And they will lean that
G G 
 
way forever
D D 
 
While Suzanne holds the mirror
F#m F#m 
 
And you want  to travel with her
G G 
 
And you want to travel blind
D D 
 
G G 
 
D D 
 
And you know that you can trust her
Em Em 
 
A A 
 
D D 
 
For she's touched your perfect body with her mind
