Suzanne Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

SuzEanne takes you down to her place near the river

You can hAear the boats go by, you can spend the night beside her

And you kEnow that she's half-crazy, but that's why you wanna be there

And she fG♯meeds you tea & oranges that come aAll the way from China

And just wEhen you mean to tell her that you hAave no love to give her

Then she gEets you on her wavelength & she lF♯mets the river answer

That you've aElways been her lover

Chorus

And you wG♯mant to travel with her, and you Awant to travel blind

And you kEnow that she will trust you,

For you've toAuched her perfect body with your miEnd

And E Jesus was a sailor, when he walked upon the water

And he A spent a long time watching from his lonely wooden tower

And E when he knew for certain only drowning men could see him he said

G#m 'All men will be sailors then, un A til the sea shall free them'

But E he himself was broken, long be A fore the sky would open

For E saken, almost human, he F#m sank beneath your wisdom like a E stone

And you G#m want to travel with him, and you A want to travel blind

And you E think maybe you'll trust him,

For he's A touched your perfect body with his E mind

Now E Suzanne takes your hand and she leads you to the river

She is A wearing rags & feathers from Salvation Army counter

And the E sun pours down like honey on Our Lady of the Harbour

And she G#m shows you where to look among the A garbage & the flowers

There are E heroes in the seaweed, there are A children in the morning

They are E leaning out for love, & they will (F#m}lean that way forever

While E Suzanne holds the mirror

And you G#m want to travel with her, and you A want to travel blind

And you E know you can trust her,

For she's A touched your perfect body with her E mind
