FAIRPORT CONVENTION "SUZANNE" FAIRPORT CONVENTION (1968) This doesn't appear on the original album, it's just a bonus track on the reissue, I think Sandy Denny might be on here and not Judy Dyble, please correct me if I'm wrong there may be different versions, I think the one on the album has Judy Dyble though F# B F# B F# BF#Suzanne takes you down to a place near the river AbmYou can hear the boats go by AbmYou can spend the night forever F#And you know that she's half crazy F#But that's why you want to be there A#And she feeds you tea and oranges BThat come all the way from China F#And just when you want to tell her F#That you have no love to give her AbmThen she gets you on her wavelength AbmAnd she lets the river answer F#That you've always been her lover A#And you want to travel with her BAnd you want to travel blind F#And you think that maybe you'll trust her FAbmor she's touched your perfect body wiF#mth her mind.F#And Jesus was a sailor F#When He walked upon the water AbAnd He spent a long time watching AbmFrom His lonely wooden tower F#And when He knew for certain F#Only drowning men could see Him A#He said "All men shall be sailors then BUntil the sea shall free them" F#But He Himself was broken F#Long before the sky would open AbForsaken, almost human AbHe sank beneath your wisdomF# like a stone A#And you want to travel with Him BAnd you want to travel blind F#And you think maybe you'll trust Him AbFor He's touched your perfect body with HiF#s mind.F#Suzanne takes you down to a place near the river AbYou can hear the boats go by AbYou can spend the night forever F#And the sun pours down like honey F#On our lady of the harbour A#And she shows you where to look Amid tBhe garbage and the flowers F#There are heroes in the seaweed F#There are children in the morning AbmAnd they're leaning out for love AbmAnd they will lean that way forever F#While Suzanne holds the mirrorA#And you want to travel with her BAnd you want to travel blind F#And you think maybe you'll trust her FAbmor you've touched her perfect body with yoF#ur mind
