F#m 244222  G#m 466444 of nog simpeler; F#m 222222  G#m 444444 en de A en D snaar niet gebruiken

   E
Suzanne takes you down, to her place near the river
	 F#m
You can hear the boats go by, you can spend the night beside her
	 E
And you know she's half-crazy, but that's why you want to be there
	 G#m				       A
And she feeds you tea and oranges, that come all the way from China
	  E				     F#m
And just when you mean to tell her, that you have no love to give her
	  E				   F#m
Then she gets you on her wavelength, and she lets the river answer
	     E
That you've always been her lover

	 G#m				 A
And you want to travel with her, and you want to travel blind
	 E
And you know that she will trust you,
	     F#m					E
For you've touched her perfect body with your mind

     E
And Jesus was a sailor, when he walked upon the water
      F#m
And he spent a long time watching, from his lonely wooden tower
    E
And when he knew for certain, only drowning men could see him
         G#m                                     A
he said 'All men will be sailors then, until the sea shall free them'
     E                                F#m
But he himself was broken, long before the sky would open
    E                       F#m                             E
Forsaken, almost human, he sank beneath your wisdom like a stone

        G#m                              A
And you want to travel with him, and you want to travel blind
        E
And you think maybe you'll trust him,
         F#m                               E
For he's touched your perfect body, with his mind

    E
Now Suzanne takes your hand and she leads you to the river
       F#m
She is wearing rags and feathers, from Salvation Army counters
        E
And the sun pours down like honey, on our lady of the harbour
        G#m                                    A
And she shows you where to look, among the garbage and the flowers
          E                                     F#m
There are heroes in the seaweed, there are children in the morning
        E                                      F#m
They are leaning out for love, and they will lean that way forever
       E
While Suzanne holds the mirror

       G#m                                           A
And you want to travel with her, and you want to travel blind
        E
And you know you can trust her,
          F#m                                 E
For she's touched your perfect body with her mind
