SUZANNE LEONARD COHEN

Suz^Eanne takes you down to her place near the river You^A can hear the boats go by, you can spend the night beside her And^E you know that she's half-crazy, but that's why you wanna be there And^G#m she feeds you^A tea & oranges that come all the way from China And ^Ejust when you ^Amean to tell her that you have no love to give her Then^E she gets yo^F#mu on her wavelength & she lets the river answer That yo^Eu've always been her lover

Chorus ------

And^G#m you want to^A travel with her, and you want to travel blind And^E you know that she will trust you, For you^A've touched^E her perfect body with your mind

And (E)Jesus was a sailor, when he walked upon the water And he (A)spent a long time watching from his lonely wooden tower And (E)when he knew for certain only drowning men could see him he said (G#m)'All men will be sailors then, un(A)til the sea shall free them' But (E)he himself was broken, long be(A)fore the sky would open For(E)saken, almost human, he (F#m)sank beneath your wisdom like a (E)stone And you (G#m)want to travel with him, and you (A)want to travel blind And you (E)think maybe you'll trust him, For he's (A)touched your perfect body with his (E)mind Now (E)Suzanne takes your hand and she leads you to the river She is (A)wearing rags & feathers from Salvation Army counter And the (E)sun pours down like honey on Our Lady of the Harbour And she (G#m)shows you where to look among the (A)garbage & the flowers There are (E)heroes in the seaweed, there are (A)children in the morning They are (E)leaning out for love, & they will (F#m}lean that way forever While (E)Suzanne holds the mirror And you (G#m)want to travel with her, and you (A)want to travel blind And you (E)know you can trust her, For she's (A)touched your perfect body with her (E)mind
