Gm7 GmSuzanne takes you down

Gm Gm7 Gm C7to her place near the river

C7 Cm F7You can hear the boats go by

F7 Cm G#You can spend the night beside her

G# Gm7 Gm Gm7and you know she's half crazy

Gm7 GmBut that's why you wanna be there

Dm G7 Cm7 CmAnd she feeds you tea and oranges that come all the way from China

Gm7 Gmand just when you mean to tell her

Cm7 Cm G#that you have no love to give her

G# Gm7 Gm C7then she gets you in her wavelength

C7 Cm F7and she lets the river answer

F7 Gm7 Gm7that you've always been her lover

Gm7 Dm G7 Gm7And you want to travel with her

Gm7 Cm7 Fm7and you want to travel blind

Fm7 Gm7 Gmand you know she will trust you

Gm Cm F7 Cm7for you've touched her perfect body

Cm7 Gm7with your mind

Gm7 Gm Gm7And Jesus was a sailor

Gm7 Gmwhen he walked upon the water

Cm7 Cm G#and he spent a long time watching

G# Cm F7 Cm7from his lonely woodden tower

Cm7 Gm7 Gmand when he knew for certain

Gm Gm7 Gmonly drowing men could see him

Gm Dm G7he said 'All men will be sailors

Gm7 Cm7 Fm7then until the sea shall free them'

Gm7 Gmbut he himself was broken

Gm Cm F7 Cm7long before the sky would open

Cm7 Gm7 Gmforesaken almost human

Cm7 Cm G# Gm7he sank beneath your wisdom like a stone

Gm7 Dm G7And you want to travel with him

F7 Cm G#from Salvation Army counter

G# Gm7 Gmand the sun pours down like honey

Gm7 Gmon our lady of the harbour

Dm G7and she shows you where to look

G7 Cm7 Cmamong the garbage and the flowers

Gm7 GmThere are heroes in the seaweed

Cm7 Cm G#there are children in the morning
