Suzanne (ver 4) by Leonard Cohen

Suzanne         LEONARD COHEN

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

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

     E
And Jesus was a sailor, when he walked upon the water
      F#m
And he spent a long time watching, from his lonely wooden tower
    E
And when he knew for certain, only drowning men could see him
         G#m                             A
he said 'All men will be sailors then, until the sea shall free them'
     E                            F#m
But he himself was broken, long before the sky would open
    E                     F#m                             E
Forsaken, almost human, he sank beneath your wisdom like a stone

        G#m                              A
And you want to travel with him, and you want to travel blind
        E
And you think maybe you'll trust him,
         F#m                               E
For he's touched your perfect body, with his mind

    E
Now Suzanne takes your hand and she leads you to the river
       F#m
She is wearing rags and feathers, from Salvation Army counters
        E
And the sun pours down like honey, on our lady of the harbour
        G#m                                A
And she shows you where to look, among the garbage and the flowers
          E                                F#m
There are heroes in the seaweed, there are children in the morning
        E                                  F#m
They are leaning out for love, and they will lean that way forever
       E
While Suzanne holds the mirror

       G#m                               A
And you want to travel with her, and you want to travel blind
        E
And you know you can trust her,
          F#m                                 E
For she's touched your perfect body with her mind
