Capo: 2
Tuning: G C E A
Using capo II makes the ukulele chords a bit easier,
but if you transpose up by 2 and skip the capo, it's also not too hard.
After D chords you can try to put in some Dsus4 chords (2230).
[Intro]
D D
[Verse 1]
SuDzanne takes you down to her Dplace near the river
You can Emhear the boats go by, you can Emspend the night beside her
And you Dknow that she's half-crazy, but that's Dwhy you wanna be there
And she F#mfeeds you tea and oranges, that come Gall the way from China
And just Dwhen you mean to tell her, that you Emhave no love to give her
Then she Dgets you on her wavelength, and she Emlets the river answer
That you've Dalways been her lover D
And you F#mwant to travel with her, and you Gwant to travel blind
And you Dknow she will trust you for you've Emtouched her perfect body
With your Dmi-Di-ind
[Verse 2]
And DJesus was a sailor when he Dwalked upon the water
And he Emspent a long time watching from his Emlonely wooden tower
And Dwhen he knew for certain, only Ddrowning men could see him
He said: "F#mAll men will be sailors then unGtil the sea shall free them"
But Dhe himself was broken long beEmfore the sky would open
ForDsaken, almost human, he Emsank beneath your wisdom
Like a Dstone D
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 your Dmi-Di-ind
[Verse 3]
Now SuDzanne takes your hand, and she Dleads you to the river
She is Emwearing rags and feathers from SalEmvation Army counter
And the Dsun pours down like honey on Our DLady of the Harbour
And she F#mshows you where to look among the Ggarbage and the flowers
There are Dheroes in the seaweed, there are Emchildren in the morning
They are Dleaning out for love, and they will Emlean that way forever
While SuDzanne holds the mirror D
And you F#mwant to travel with her, and you Gwant to travel blind
And you Dknow you can trust her for she's Emtouched your perfect body
With her Dmi-Di-ind
