Suzanne (Live) Chords

[Intro]
C  C/G   C
 
 
[Verse 1]
  G
Suzanne takes you down
G
To a place by the river
        Am
You can see the boats go by
Am
You could spend the night forever
        G
And you know that she's half crazy
G
And that's why you want to be there
        Bm
And she feeds you tea and oranges
          C
That come all the way from China
    G
And just when you mean to tell her
G
That you have no love to give her
    Am
She takes you in her arms
Am
And she lets the river answer
            G
That you've always been her lover
        Bm
And you want to travel with her
        C
And you want to travel blind
        G
And you think you'll maybe trust her
                     Am
'Cause she's touched you
Am
And she's moved you
    G           C/G
And she's kind
 
 
[Verse 2]
    G
And Jesus was a sailor
G
When he walked up the water
   Am
He spent a long time watching
Am
From a lonely wooden tower
            G
And when He knew for certain
G
Only drowning men could see Him
          Bm
He said, "All men shall be sailors then
  C
Until the sea shall free them"
G
He Himself was broken
G
Long before the sky was open;
   Am
Forsaken, almost human
                                   G      C/G
He sank beneath your wisdom like a star
        Bm
And you want to travel with Him
        C
And you want to travel blind
        G
And you think you'll maybe trust Him
                    Am
'Cause He's touched you
Am
And He's moved you
    G           C/G
And He's kind
 
 
[Verse 3]
  G
Suzanne takes your hand
G
And she leads you to the river
      Am
She's wearing rags and feathers
Am
From Salvation Army counters
        G
And the sun pours down like honey
G
On our lady of the harbor
        Bm
And she shows you where to look
            C
Beneath the garbage and the flowers
          G
There are heroes in the seaweed
G
There are children in the morning
        Am
They're leaning out for love
Am
And they will lean that way forever
      G
While Suzanne holds the mirror
        Bm
And you want to travel with her
        C
And you want to travel blind
        G
And you think you'll maybe trust her
                     Am
'Cause she's touched you
Am
And she's moved you
    G       C/G G
And she's kind
