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


{soc}
And you [/] [F#m] want to travel [/] with her and you [/] [G] want to travel [/] blind
And you [/] [D] know that she will [/] trust you
For you've [/] [Em] touched her perfect [/] body with your [/] [D] mind [/] [D] [/] [D] [/] [D]

And [/] [D] Jesus was a [/] sailor when He [/] walked upon the [/] water
And He [/] [Em] spent a long time [/] watching from his [/] lonely wooden [/] tower
And [/] [D] when He knew for [/] certain only [/] drowning men could [/] see Him
He said [/] [F#m] all men will be [/] sailors then un- [/] [G] til the sea shall [/] free them
But [/] [D] He Himself was [/] broken long be- [/] [Em] fore the sky would [/] open
For- [/] [D] saken, almost [/] human, He [/] [Em] sank beneath your [/] wisdom 
like a [/] [D] stone [/] [D] [/] [D] [/] [D]


{soc}
And you [/] [F#m] want to travel [/] with him and you [/] [G] want to travel [/] blind
And you [/] [D] think maybe you'll [/] trust him
For He's [/] [Em] touched your perfect [/] body with his [/] [D] mind [/] [D] [/] [D] [/] [D] 
{eoc}


Now, Su- [/] [D] zanne takes your [/] hand and she [/] leads you to the [/] river
She is [/] [Em] wearing rags and [/] feathers from Sal- [/] vation Army [/] counters
And the [/] [D] sun pours down like [/] honey on our [/] lady of the [/] harbor
And she [/] [F#m] shows you where to [/] look among the [/] [G] garbage and the [/] flowers
There are [/] [D] heroes in the [/] seaweed there are [/] [Em] children in the [/] morning
They are [/] [D] leaning out for [/] love and they will [/] [Em] lean that way for-[/] ever
While Su- [/] [D] zanne holds the [/] mirror [/] [D] [/] [D]


{soc}
And you [/] [F#m] want to travel [/] with her and you [/] [G] want to travel [/] blind
And you [/] [D] know that you can [/] trust her
For she's [/] [Em] touched your perfect [/] body with her [/] [D] mind [/] [D] [/] [D] [/] [D↓]
