Chords
E
[Verse 1]
SuzanneE takes you down to her place near the river
You can F#mhear the boats go by, you can spend the night beside her
And you Eknow that she's halfcrazy but that's why you want to be there
And she G#mfeeds you tea and oranges that come allA the way from China
And justE when you mean to tell her that you F#mhave no love to give her
Then she Egets you on her wavelength
And she F#mlets the river answer that you've alEways been her lover
[Chorus]
And you G#mwant to travel with her, and you Awant to travel blind
And you Eknow that she will trust you
For you've F#mtouched her perfect body with your Emind
[Verse 2]
And EJesus was a sailor when he walked upon the water
And he F#mspent a long time watching from his lonely wooden tower
And whenE he knew for certain only drowning men could see him
He said G#mall men will be sailors then unAtil the sea shall free them
But Ehe himself was broken, long beF#mfore the sky would open
ForEsaken, almost human, he sankF#m beneath your wisdom like a Estone
[Chorus]
And you G#mwant to travel with him, and you Awant to travel blind
And you Ethink maybe you'll trust him
For he's F#mtouched your perfect body with his Emind
[Verse 3]
Now, SuEzanne takes your hand and she leads you to the river
She's F#mwearing rags and feathers from Salvation Army counters
And the Esun pours down like honey on our lady of the harbor
And she G#mshows you where to look among the garAbage and the flowers
There areE heroes in the seaweed, there are F#mchildren in the morning
They are Eleaning out for love and they wil F#mlean that way forever
While SuzanneE holds her mirror
[Chorus]
And you G#mwant to travel with her, and you Awant to travel blind
And you Eknow that you can trust her
For she's F#mtouched your perfect body with her mind E
