Leonard Cohen - Suzanne

Suz^Eanne takes you down, to her place near the river You can h^F#mear the boats go by, you can spend the night beside her And you k^Enow she's half-crazy, but that's why you want to be there And she f^G#meeds you tea & oranges, that c^Aome all the way from China And just w^Ehen you mean to tell her, that you ^F#mhave no love to give her Then she g^Eets you on her wavelength, and sh^F#me lets the river answer That you've a^Elways been her lover

And you w^G#mant to travel with her, and you ^Awant to travel blind And you k^Enow that she will trust you, For you've to^F#muched her perfe^Ect body with your mind

And J^Eesus was a sailor, when he walked upon the water And he^F#m spent a long time watching, from his lonely wooden tower And ^Ewhen he knew for certain, only drowning men could see him he said '^G#mAll men will be sailors then, un^Atil the sea shall free them' But h^Ee himself was broken, long be^F#mfore the sky would open Fors^Eaken, almost human, he^F#m sank beneath your wisdom like a^E stone

And you ^G#mwant to travel with him, and you ^Awant to travel blind And you ^Ethink maybe you'll trust him, For he's ^F#mtouched your perfect body, with hi^Es mind

Now ^ESuzanne takes your hand and she leads you to the river She is ^F#mwearing rags and feathers, from Salvation Army counters And the ^Esun pours down like honey, on our lady of the harbour And she ^G#mshows you where to look, among the ^Agarbage and the flowers There are ^Eheroes in the seaweed, there are ^F#mchildren in the morning They are^E leaning out for love, and they wil^F#ml lean that way forever While S^Euzanne holds the mirror

And you^G#m want to travel with her, and you ^Awant to travel blind And you ^Eknow you can trust her, For she's ^F#mtouched your perfect body with her m^Eind
