Suzanne Chords by Judy Collins

Suzanne takes you [Abm] down to [Gb] a place by the river
_ [Abm] You can hear the [Gb] boats go by, [B] you [Abm] can spend the [Gb] night [B] forever
_ And you know that she's half crazy, _ that's why you want to be [Ab] there
And [Bbm] she feeds you tea and oranges [Ab] that come all the way from China
_ [Gb] And just when you want to tell [B] her [Gb] that you have no love to give her
She [Ab]
[Abm] gets you on her wavelength _ [Bb] and lets the [Gb] river answer that you've always [Db] been her lover
[Ebm] _ [Gb] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ And [Bbm] you want to travel with her, [B] and you want to [Ab] travel _ blind
And you [Gb] think you'll maybe trust [B] her, [Bb] for she's [Abm] touched your perfect [B] body _ [Gb] with her mind
_ _ _ [B] _ [Gb] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [B] _ [Gb] And Jesus was a sailor when he walked upon the water
_ [Db] And he [Abm] spent a long time [B] watching [Abm] from a lonely [Gb] wooden tower
[Abm] _ _ [Gb]
And when he knew for certain only drowning men could see [Ab] him
[Bbm] He said all men shall be sailors [B]
then until the sea shall free them
[Db] _
[Gb] But he himself was broken [Db] long [Ab] before [Gb] the sky would open _
[Eb] _ [Abm] Forsaken, almost _ [B] human, [Ab] he [Abm] sank beneath your [Ebm] wisdom like [Gb] a star
_ _ _ [Db] _ _ _
_ [Gb] _ _ _ _ _ And [Bbm] you want to travel with him, [B] and you want to travel _ blind
[Gb] And you think you'll maybe [Abm] trust him, [Gb] _
[Bb] for he's [Abm] touched your [B] perfect body with [Eb] his [Gb] mind
_ [Db] _ _ [Gb] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Suzanne _ [Db] takes you [Gb] down to her place by the river, you [Ab]
can [Abm] hear the boats go [B] by
[Bb] You can [Ebm] spend the night forever [Gb] and the sun pours [Ab] down like honey [Gb] on our lady of the harbor
[Bbm] And she shows you where to look amid [Ab] the garbage _ on the flowers
There are [Gb] heroes in the [Eb] seaweed, _ [Gb] there are children in the morning
[Ab] _ They are leaning [Abm] out for love and they [Bb] will lean that [Ab] way forever
[B] _ _ [Gb]
While Suzanne _ _ [B] holds the [Gb] mirror
_ _ _ _ _ And [Bbm] you want to [Bb] travel with [Bbm] her, _ [B]
and you want to [Abm] travel blind
[Gb] And you think maybe you'll trust [B] her, [Ebm] _
for you've touched [Abm] her perfect body with [Gb] your mind _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Abm] _ _ [Gb] _ _ _ _
