Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][G][D][G][D]

[Verse 1]
[D]Suzanne takes you down
To a place by the river
You [Em]can see the boats go by
You could spend the night forever
And [D]you know that she's
half crazy
And that's why you want to be there
And [F#m]she feeds you tea and oranges
That come [G]all the way
from [Em]China[G]
[Em]And [D]just when you mean to tell her
That you have no love to give her
[Em]She takes you in her arms
And she lets the river answer
That you've al[D]ways been her lover

[Verse 2]
[D][G]
[D]And you [F#m]want to travel with her
And you [G]want to travel blind
An[Em]d yo[D]u think you'll maybe
trust her
'Cause she's [Em]touched you
And she's [D]moved [G]you
[D]And she's kind

[Verse 3]
Jesus [D]was a sailor
When he walked up the water
He [Em]spent a long time watching
From a lonely wooden tower
And [D]when He knew for certain
Only drowning men could see Him
He [F#m]said, "All men shall be sailors then
[G]Until the sea shall free [Em]them"
[D]He Himself was broken
Long before the sky was open
For[Em]saken, almost human
He sank beneath your wisdom like a star
[D]

[Verse 4]
And you [F#m]want to travel with Him
And you [G]want to travel blind
And [Em]you think [D]you'll
maybe trust Him
'Cause [Em]He's touched you
And [D]He's moved you
And He's kind
[G][D]

[Verse 5]
[G][D]
Suzanne takes your hand
And she leads you to the river
She's [Em]wearing rags and feathers
From Salvation Army counters
And [D]the sun shines down in full
On our lady of the harbor
And [F#m]she shows you where to look
Beneath the [G]garbage and the flowers
[Em]There are [D]heroes in the seaweed
There are children in

[Interlude 1]
the morning
[D][Em][D]
[Em]
[D]And you

[Verse 6]
[F#m]want to travel with her
And you [G]want to travel blind
And [D]you think you'll maybe trust her
'Cause [Em]she's touched you
And she's [D]moved [D]you
And she's kind
