Suzanne - Leonard Cohen | Guitar Chords

[Intro]
---------------------
E

[Verse 1]
---------------------
       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 that she's halfcrazy but that's why you want to be there
        G#m                                    A
And she feeds you tea and 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
Then she gets you on her wavelength
        F#m                                 E
And she lets the river answer that you've always been her lover

[Chorus (1)]
---------------------
        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

[Verse 2]
---------------------
    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

[Chorus (2)]
---------------------
        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

[Verse 3]
---------------------
       E
Now, Suzanne takes your hand and she leads you to the river
      F#m
She's wearing rags and feathers from Salvation Army counters
        E
And the sun pours down like honey on our lady of the harbor
        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 wil lean that way forever
             E
While Suzanne holds the mirror

[Chorus (3)]
---------------------
        G#m                              A
And you want to travel with her, and you want to travel blind
        E
And you know that you can trust her
          F#m                                    E
For she's touched your perfect body with her mind
