[Intro 1]
[C][C][C][C]

[Verse 1]
Su[C]zanne takes you down
to her place near the river
You can [Dm]hear the boats go by,
you can spend the night beside her
And you [C]know that she's half- crazy
but that's why you want to be there
And she [Em]feeds you tea and oranges
that come [F]all the way from China
And [C]just when you mean to tell her
that you [Dm]have no love to give her
Then she [C]gets you on her wavelength
And she [Dm]lets the river answer
that you've al[C]ways been her [C]lover

[Chorus 1]
And you [Em]want to travel with her,
and you [F]want to travel blind
And then you [C]know that she will trust you
For you've [Dm]touched her perfect body
with your [C]mind
[C][C]

[Verse 2]
And [C]Jesus was a sailor
when he walked upon the water
And he [Dm]spent a long time watching
from his lonely wooden tower
And [C]when he knew for certain
only drowning men could see him
He said [Em]all men will be sailors
then un[F]til the sea shall free them
But [C]he himself was broken,
long [Dm]before the sky would open
[C]Forsaken, almost human,
he [Dm]sank beneath your wisdom
like a [C]stone
[C][C]

[Chorus 2]
And you [Em]want to travel with him,
and you [F]want to travel blind
And then you [C]think maybe you'll trust him
For he's [Dm]touched your perfect body
with his [C]mind
[C][C]

[Verse 3]
Now, [C]Suzanne takes your hand
and she leads you to the river
She's [Dm]wearing rags and feathers
from Salvation Army counters
And the [C]sun pours down like honey
on our lady of the harbor
And she [Em]shows you where to look
among the [F]garbage and the flowers
There [C]are heroes in the seaweed,
there are [Dm]children in the morning
They are [C]leaning out for love
and they will [Dm]lean that way forever
While [C]Suzanne holds the [C]mirror

[Chorus 3]
And you [Em]want to travel with her,
and you [F]want to travel blind
And then you [C]know that you can trust her
For she's [Dm]touched your perfect body
with her [C]mind
[C][C]
