Fairport Convention - Suzanne

^DSuzanne takes you down to a place by the river You can ^Emhear the boats go by, you can spend the night forever And you ^Dknow that she's half crazy, that's why you want to be there And she ^F#mfeeds you tea and oranges that come ^Gall the way from China Just ^Dwhen you want to tell her, that you have no love to give her She ^Emgets you on her wavelength and she lets the river answer That you've ^Dalways been her lover And you ^F#mwant to travel with her, and you ^Gwant to travel blind And you ^Dthink you maybe trust her For she ^Emtouched your perfect body with her ^Dmind

And ^DJesus 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 said "^F#mAll men shall be sailors then un^Gtil the sea shall free them" And ^Dhe himself was broken long before the sky would open For^Emsaken, almost human, he sank beneath your wisdom like a ^Dstone And you ^F#mwant to travel with him and you ^Gwant to travel blind And you ^Dthink you maybe trust him For ^Emhe touched your perfect body with his ^Dmind

^DSuzanne 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're ^Emleaning out for love and they will lean that way forever While Su^Dzanne holds the mirror And you ^F#mwant to travel with her and you ^Gwant to travel blind And you ^Dthink you maybe trust her For she ^Emtouched your perfect body with her ^Dmind
