Judy Collins - Suzanne
CAPO: 4th Fret
{Intro]
D
[Verse 1]
Suzanne takes you down to a place near the river
You can Emhear the boats go by
You can spend the night forDever
And you know that she's half crazy
But that's why you want to be there
And she F#mfeeds you tea and oranges
That come Gall the way from China
And Djust when you want to tell her
That you have no love to give her
She Emgets you on her wavelength
And lets the river answer
That you've Dalways been her lover
[Chorus]
And you F#mwant to travel with her
And you Gwant to travel blind
And you Dthink that maybe you'll trust her
For she's Emtouched your perfect body with her Dmind
[Verse 2]
And Jesus was a sailor
When he walked upon the water
And he Emspent a long time watching
From a lonely wooden tower
And Dwhen he knew for certain
Only drowning men could see him
He F#msaid, "All men shall be sailors then
GUntil the sea shall free them"
But Dhe himself was broken
Long before the sky would open
EmForsaken, almost human
He sank beneath your wisdom like a Dstone
[Chorus]
And you F#mwant to travel with him
And you Gwant to travel blind
And you Dthink maybe you'll trust him
For he's Emtouched your perfect body with his Dmind
[Verse 3]
Suzanne takes you down to a place by the river
You can Emhear the boats go by
You can spend the night forever
And the Dsun pours down like honey
On our lady of the harbour
And she F#mshows you where to look
Amid the Ggarbage and the flowers
There are Dheroes in the seaweed
There are children in the morning
They are Emleaning out for love
And they will lean that way forever
While SuDzanne holds the mirror
[Chorus]
And you F#mwant to travel with her
And you Gwant to travel blind
And you Dthink maybe you'll trust her
For you've Emtouched her perfect body with your Dmind
