Judy Collins - Suzanne
CAPO: 4th Fret
{Intro]
D
[Verse 1]
Suzanne takes you down to a place near the river
Em
You can hear the boats go by
D
You can spend the night forever
And you know that she's half crazy
But that's why you want to be there
F#m
And she feeds you tea and oranges
G
That come all the way from China
D
And just when you want to tell her
That you have no love to give her
Em
She gets you on her wavelength
And lets the river answer
D
That you've always been her lover
[Chorus]
F#m
And you want to travel with her
G
And you want to travel blind
D
And you think that maybe you'll trust her
Em D
For she's touched your perfect body with her mind
[Verse 2]
And Jesus was a sailor
When he walked upon the water
Em
And he spent a long time watching
From a lonely wooden tower
D
And when he knew for certain
Only drowning men could see him
F#m
He said, "All men shall be sailors then
G
Until the sea shall free them"
D
But he himself was broken
Long before the sky would open
Em
Forsaken, almost human
D
He sank beneath your wisdom like a stone
[Chorus]
F#m
And you want to travel with him
G
And you want to travel blind
D
And you think maybe you'll trust him
Em D
For he's touched your perfect body with his mind
[Verse 3]
Suzanne takes you down to a place by the river
Em
You can hear the boats go by
You can spend the night forever
D
And the sun pours down like honey
On our lady of the harbour
F#m
And she shows you where to look
G
Amid the garbage and the flowers
D
There are heroes in the seaweed
There are children in the morning
Em
They are leaning out for love
And they will lean that way forever
D
While Suzanne holds the mirror
[Chorus]
F#m
And you want to travel with her
G
And you want to travel blind
D
And you think maybe you'll trust her
Em D
For you've touched her perfect body with your mind
