Suzanne (Leonard Cohen)

G
Suzanne takes you down the her place near the
Am
river, You can hear the boats go by, you can
G
spend the night beside her, And you know that
she's half crazy but that's why you want to be
Bm
there, And she feeds you tea and oranges that
CG
come all the way from China. And just when you
mean to tell her that you have no love to give
Am
her, She gets you on he wavelength and she lets
G
the river answer That you've always been her
Bm
lover. And you want to travel with her, and you
CG
want to travel blind, And you know that you can
Am
trust her, For you've touched her perfect body
G
with your mind.
     
G
And Jesus was a sailor when he walked upon the
Am
water, And he spent a long time watching from
G
his lonely wooden tower. And when he knew for
certain only drowning men could see him, He
BmC
said, "All men will be sailors then until the
G
sea shall free them." But he himself was broken
Am
long before the sky would open, Forsaken almost
G
human, he sank beneath your wisdom like a stone.
BmC
And you want to travel with him, and you want to
G
travel blind, And you think maybe you'll trust
Am
him, For he's touched your perfect body with his
G
mind.
G
Now Suzanne take your hand and she leads you to
Am
the river, She is wearing rags and feathers from
     
G
Salvation Army counters. And the sun pours down
like honey on your lady of the harbor, And she
BmC
shows you where to look among the garbage and
G
the flowers. There are heroes in the seaweed,
there are children in the morning They are
Am
leaning out for love and they will lean that way
G
forever, While Suzanne hold the mirror. And you
BmC
want to travel with her, and you want to travel
G
blind, And you think maybe you'll trust her, For
AmG
you've touched her perfect body with your mind.
