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

Obviously, after listening to the "COHEN LIVE!" performance, the capo
should be on the 9th fret and the song starts in G, instead of C capo 4,
or even E ( no capo ) as I've often seen.
Basically, the notes are exactly the same as in the previous version,
but it's much EASIER to play it that way ( that's what L. Cohen does
anyway ), and it sounds just beautiful.
( in the "COHEN LIVE!" performance, the capo is on the the 3rd fret,
i.e. 3 tones lower than the studio version )
Here it is :

"Suzanne" é uma composição musical criada pelo poeta, escritor e músico canadense Leonard Cohen. Esta canção teve origem no poema "Suzanne Takes You Down", que faz parte do livro de poemas Parasites of Heaven publicado em 1966, assim como outras canções do seu álbum de estreia Songs of Leonard Cohen de 1967. A primeira gravação desta canção foi realizada por Judy Collins e foi incluída no seu álbum de 1966 In My Life. Em uma entrevista concedida à BBC em 1994, Cohen explicou que tanto o poema quanto a canção narram um encontro com Suzanne Verdal, esposa do escultor Armand Vaillancourt, em Montreal. A canção menciona vários lugares da cidade, como o Rio São Lourenço e uma pequena capela junto à baía, Notre-Dame-de-Bon-Secours, descrita como voltada para o nascer do sol. Cohen foi convidado por Suzanne para a sua casa perto do rio, onde ela lhe ofereceu chá Constant Comment, que contém pedaços de laranja. Esses elementos inspiraram Cohen a criar o poema e a canção. Na mesma entrevista, Cohen esclareceu que, embora o encontro tenha sido especial, não houve relações sexuais com Suzanne. Em 2006, Suzanne Verdal confirmou à CBC News que não existiu tal relação íntima com Cohen. Além de Judy Collins em 1966 e Cohen em 1967, a canção foi interpretada por numerosos artistas, incluindo Nina Simone (que a gravou pela primeira vez em 1967 no seu álbum To Love Somebody), Noel Harrison, Fairport Convention, Pearls Before Swine, Harry Belafonte, Joan Baez, Genesis, Bruce Springsteen, Tom Northcott, Graeme Allwright, Françoise Hardy, Pauline Julien, Neil Diamond, Nana Mouskouri, Sylvie Vartan, Alain Bashung, Herman van Veen, Fabrizio De André, The Flying Lizards, Peter Gabriel, Tower of Song, Geoffrey Oryema, Tori Amos, John Howard, James Taylor, Tangerine Dream, Toti Soler, e Roberta Flack, que a incluiu no seu álbum Killing Me Softly de 1973. A canção também apareceu em diversas produções cinematográficas. Fez parte de um curta-metragem de Cohen intitulado I Am a Hotel de 1983, e foi incluída no filme Ondas do Destino de Lars von Trier. Nick Cave a interpretou no filme Leonard Cohen: I'm Your Man. Além disso, pode ser ouvida no filme de Werner Herzog Fata Morgana, no filme de 2004 A Home at the End of the World, e no filme Salvador. Também faz parte da trilha sonora do documentário All Watched Over By Machines of Loving Grace e aparece no filme Lume. A canção, com duração de 3 minutos e 48 segundos, pertence às categorias de canções de 1967, composições de Leonard Cohen, canções em inglês, canções sobre mulheres e está composta em mi maior.
