F#m7 F#mSuzanne takes you down
F#m F#m7 F#m B7to her place near the river
B7 Bm E7You can hear the boats go by
E7 Bm GYou can spend the night beside her
G F#m7 F#m F#m7and you know she's half crazy
F#m7 F#mBut that's why you wanna be there
C#m F#7 Bm7 BmAnd she feeds you tea and oranges that come all the way from China
F#m7 F#mand just when you mean to tell her
Bm7 Bm Gthat you have no love to give her
G F#m7 F#m B7then she gets you in her wavelength
B7 Bm E7and she lets the river answer
E7 F#m7 F#m7that you've always been her lover
F#m7 C#m F#7 F#m7And you want to travel with her
F#m7 Bm7 Em7and you want to travel blind
Em7 F#m7 F#mand you know she will trust you
F#m Bm E7 Bm7for you've touched her perfect body
Bm7 F#m7with your mind
F#m7 F#m F#m7And Jesus was a sailor
F#m7 F#mwhen he walked upon the water
Bm7 Bm Gand he spent a long time watching
G Bm E7 Bm7from his lonely woodden tower
Bm7 F#m7 F#mand when he knew for certain
F#m F#m7 F#monly drowing men could see him
F#m C#m F#7he said 'All men will be sailors
F#m7 Bm7 Em7then until the sea shall free them'
F#m7 F#mbut he himself was broken
F#m Bm E7 Bm7long before the sky would open
Bm7 F#m7 F#mforesaken almost human
Bm7 Bm G F#m7he sank beneath your wisdom like a stone
F#m7 C#m F#7And you want to travel with him
F#7 Bm7 Bmand you want to travel blind
F#m7 F#mand you think may be you'll trust him
Bm7 Bm Gfor he's touched your perfect body
G F#m7with his mind
F#m7 F#mNow Suzanne takes your hand

G F#m7 F#mand the sun pours down like honey
F#m7 F#mon our lady of the harbour
C#m F#7and she shows you where to look
F#7 Bm7 Bmamong the garbage and the flowers
F#m7 F#mThere are heroes in the seaweed
Bm7 Bm Gthere are children in the morning
G F#m7 F#m B7They are leaning out for love
B7 Bm E7they will lean that way forever
