1. Suzanne
[Verse 1]
Suzanne takes you down to her place near the river
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 wanna be there
And she feeds you tea & 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 & she lets the river answer
That you've always been her lover
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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.
[Verse 3]
Now Suzanne takes your hand 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
While Suzanne holds the mirror
[Chorus]
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

2. Master Song
Capo 3rd fret
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
I believe that you heard your master sing
when I was sick in bed.
I suppose that he told you everything
that I keep locked away in my head.
Your master took you travelling
well at least that's what you said.
And now do you come back to bring
your prisoner wine and bread?
[Verse 2]
You met him at some temple where
they take your clothes at the door.
He was just a numberless man in a chair
who'd just come back from the war.
And you wrap up his tired face in your hair
and he hands you the apple core.
Then he touches your lips now so suddenly bare
of all the kisses we put on some time before.
[Verse 3]
And he gave you a German Shepherd to walk
with a collar of leather and nails
and he never once made you explain or talk
about all of the little details
such as who had a word and who had a rock
and who had you through the mails.
Now your love is a secret all over the block
and it never stops not even when your master fails
[Verse 4]
And he took you up in his aeroplane
which he flew without any hands
and you cruised above the ribbons of rain
that drove the crowd from the stands.
Then he killed the lights in a lonely Lane
and an ape with angel glands
erased the final wisps of pain
with the music of rubber bands.
[Verse 5]
And now I hear your master sing
you kneel for him to come.
His body is a golden string
that your body is hanging from.
His body is a golden string
my body has grown numb.
Oh now you hear your master sing
your shirt is all undone.
[Verse 6]
And will you kneel beside this bed
that we polished so long ago
before your master chose instead
to make my bed of snow?
Your eyes are wild and your knuckles are red
and you're speaking far too low.
No I can't make out what your master said
before he made you go.
[Verse 7]
Then I think you're playing far too rough
for a lady who's been to the moon;
I've lain by this window long enough
to get used to an empty room.
And your love is some dust in an old man's cough
who is tapping his foot to a tune
and your thighs are a ruin you want too much
let's say you came back some time too soon.
[Verse 8]
I loved your master perfectly
I taught him all that he knew.
He was starving in some deep mystery
like a man who is sure what is true.
And I sent you to him with my guarantee
I could teach him something new
and I taught him how you would long for me
no matter what he said no matter what you'd do.
[Verse 9]
I believe that you heard your master sing
while I was sick in bed
I'm sure that he told you everything
I must keep locked away in my head.
Your master took you travelling
well at least that's what you said
And now do you come back to bring
your prisoner wine and bread?

3. Winter Lady
This song contains pretty unusual chords so I'll tab them:
D11+: x 5 4 0 3 x
D11/A: x 0 4 0 3 x
[Intro]
+
[Verse 1]
Traveling lady stay awhile
Until the night is over
I'm just a station on your way
I know I am not your lover
[Chorus 1]
Well I lived with a child of snow
When I was a soldier
And I fought every man for her
Until the nights grew colder
[Verse 2]
She used to wear her hair like you
Except when she was sleeping
And then she'd weave it on a loom
Of smoke and gold and breathing
[Chorus 2]
And why are you so quiet now
Standing there in the doorway?
You chose your journey long before
You came upon this highway
[Verse 3]
Traveling lady stay awhile
Until the night is over
I'm just a station on your way
I know I am not your lover
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4. The Stranger Song
Tuning: down one tone ( )
[Intro]
sus4 sus4 sus4 sus4
[Verse 1]
It's true that all the men you knew were dealers
Who said they were through with dealing
F#m F#sus4 F#m
Every time you gave them shelter
E Esus4 E
I know that kind of man
F#m F#sus4 F#m
It's hard to hold the hand of anyone
Who is reaching for the sky just to surrender
Who is reaching for the sky just to surrender
[Verse 2]
And then sweeping up the jokers that he left behind
You find he did not leave you very much
F#m F#sus4 F#m
Not even laughter
Like any dealer he was watching for the card
F#sus4 F#m E
That is so high and wild
He'll never need to deal another
He was just some Joseph looking for a manger
He was just some Joseph looking for a manger
[Verse 3]
And then leaning on your window sill
He'll say one day you caused his will
To weaken with your love and warmth and shelter
E Esus4 E
And then taking from his wallet
F#m F#sus4 F#m
An old schedule of trains he'll say
I told you when I came I was a stranger
I told you when I came I was a stranger
[Verse 4]
But now another stranger seems
To want you to ignore his dreams
As though they were the burden of some other
E Esus4 E
O you've seen that man before
F#m F#sus4 F#m
His golden arm dispatching cards
But now it's rusted from the elbow to the finger
And he wants to trade the game he plays for shelter
Yes he wants to trade the game he knows for shelter
[Verse 5]
Ah you hate to watch another tired man
Lay down his hand
Like he was giving up the holy game of
And while he talks his dreams to sleep
F#m F#sus4 F#m
You notice there's a highway
That is curling up like smoke above his shoulder
It's curling just like smoke above his shoulder
[Verse 6]
You tell him to come in sit down
But something makes you turn around
The door is open you can't close your shelter
E Esus E
You try the handle of the road
F#m F#sus4 F#m
It opens do not be afraid
It's you my love you who are the stranger
It's you my love you who are the stranger
[Verse 7]
Well I've been waiting I was sure
We'd meet between the trains we're waiting for
F#m F#sus4 F#m
I think it's time to board another
Please understand I never had a secret chart
F#sus4 F#m E
To get me to the heart of this
Or any other matter
When he talks like this you don't know what he's after
When he speaks like this you don't know what he's after
[Verse 8]
Let's meet tomorrow if you choose
Upon the shore beneath the bridge
That they are building on some endless river
Then he leaves the platform
Esus4 E F#m
For the sleeping car that's warm
You realize he's only advertising one more shelter
And it comes to you he never was a stranger
And you say okay the bridge or someplace later
[Verse 9]
And then sweeping up the jokers that he left behind
You find he did not leave you very much
F#m F#sus4 F#m
Not even laughter
Like any dealer he was watching for the card
F#sus4 F#m E
That is so high and wild
He'll never need to deal another
He was just some Joseph looking for a manger
He was just some Joseph looking for a manger
[Verse 10]
And then leaning on your window sill
He'll say one day you caused his will
To weaken with your love and warmth and shelter
E Esus4 E
And then taking from his wallet
F#m F#sus4 F#m
An old schedule of trains he'll say
I told you when I came I was a stranger
I told you when I came I was a stranger
I told you when I came I was a stranger
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5. Sisters of Mercy
Capo on 2nd fret
[Verse 1]
Oh the Sisters of Mercy they are not departed or gone
They were waiting for me when I thought that I just can't go on
And they brought me their comfort and later they brought me this song
Oh I hope you run into them you who've been traveling so long
[Verse 2]
Yes you who must leave everything that you cannot control
It begins with your family but soon it comes round to your soul
Well I've been where you're hanging I think I can see how you're pinned
When you're not feeling holy your loneliness says that you've sinned
[Verse 3]
They lay down beside me I made my confession to them
They touched both my eyes and I touched the dew on their hem
If your life is a leaf that the seasons tear off and condemn
They will bind you with love that is graceful and green as a stem
[Verse 4]
When I left they were sleeping I hope you run into them soon
Dont turn on the lights you can read their address by the moon
And you won't make me jealous if I hear that they sweetened your night
We weren't lovers like that and besides it would still be all right
We weren't lovers like that and besides it would still be all right
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6. So Long Marianne
[Verse 1]
Come over to the window my little darling
I'd like to try to read your palm
I used to think I was some sort of gypsy boy
before I let you take me home
[Chorus]
Now so long Marianne It's time that we began
to laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again
[Verse 2]
Well you know that I love to live with you
but you make me forget so very much
I forget to pray for the angels
and then the angels forget to pray for us
[Chorus]
Now so long Marianne It's time that we began
to laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again
[Verse 3]
We met when we were almost young
deep in the green lilac park
You held on to me like I was a crucifix
as we went kneeling through the dark
[Chorus]
Now so long Marianne It's time that we began
to laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again
[Verse 4]
Your letters they all say that you're beside me now
then why do I feel so alone
I'm standing on a ledge and your fine spider web
is fastening my ankle to a stone
[Chorus]
Now so long Marianne It's time that we began
to laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again
[Verse 5]
For now I need your hidden love
I'm cold as a new razor blade
You left when I told you I was curious
I never said that I was brave
[Chorus]
Now so long Marianne It's time that we began
to laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again
[Verse 6]
Oh you are really such a pretty one
I see you've gone and changed your name again
And just when I climbed this whole mountainside
to wash my eyelids in the rain
[Chorus]
Now so long Marianne It's time that we began
to laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7. Hey That's No Way To Say Goodbye
Capo on 1st fret
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
I loved you in the morning our kisses deep and warm
your hair upon the pillow like a sleepy golden storm
yes many loved before us I know that we are not new
in city and in forest they smiled like me and you
but now it's come to distances and both of us must try
your eyes are soft with sorrow
[Chorus]
Hey that's no way to say good bye.
[Verse 2]
I'm not looking for another as I wander in my time
walk me to the corner our steps will always rhyme
you know my love goes with you as your love stays with me
it's just the way it changes like the shoreline and the sea
but let's not talk of love or chains and things we can't untie
your eyes are soft with sorrow
[Chorus]
Hey that's no way to say good bye.
[Verse 3]
I loved you in the morning our kisses deep and warm
your hair upon the pillow like a sleepy golden storm
yes many loved before us I know that we are not new
in city and in forest they smiled like me and you
but let's not talk of love or chains and things we can't untie
your eyes are soft with sorrow
[Chorus]
Hey that's no way to say good bye.

8. Stories of The Street
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
The stories of the street are mine the Spanish voices laugh
The Cadillacs go creeping now through the night and the poison gas
And I lean from my window sill in this old hotel I chose
Yes one hand on my suicide one hand on the rose
[Verse 2]
I know you've heard it's over now and war must surely come
The cities they are broke in half and the middle men are gone
But let me ask you one more time o children of the dusk
All these hunters who are shrieking now oh do they speak for us?
[Verse 3]
And where do all these highways go now that we are free?
Why are the armies marching still that were coming home to me?
O lady with your legs so fine o stranger at your wheel
You are locked into your suffering and your pleasures are the seal
[Verse 4]
The age of lust is giving birth and both the parents ask
The nurse to tell them fairy tales on both sides of the glass
And now the infant with his cord is hauled in like a kite
And one eye filled with blueprints one eye filled with night
[Verse 5]
O come with me my little one we will find that farm
And grow us grass and apples there and keep all the animals warm
And if by chance I wake at night and I ask you who I am
O take me to the slaughterhouse I will wait there with the lamb
[Verse 6]
With one hand on the hexagram and one hand on the girl
I balance on a wishing well that all men call the world
We are so small between the stars so large against the sky
And lost among the subway crowds I try to catch your eye
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
9. Teachers
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
I met a woman long ago
Her hair the black that black can go
Are you a teacher of the heart?
Soft she answered no
[Verse 2]
I met a girl across the sea
Her hair the gold that gold can be
Are you a teacher of the heart?
Yes but not for thee
[Verse 3]
I met a man who lost his mind
In some lost place I had to find
Follow me the wise man said
But he walked behind
[Verse 4]
I walked into a hospital
Where none was sick and none was well
When at night the nurses left
I could not walk at all
[Verse 5]
Morning came and then came noon
Dinner time a scalpel blade
Lay beside my silver spoon
[Verse 6]
Some girls wander by mistake
Into the mess that scalpels make
Are you the teachers of my heart?
We teach old hearts to break
[Verse 7]
One morning I woke up alone
The hospital and the nurses gone
Have I carved enough my Lord?
Child you are a bone
[Verse 8]
I ate and ate and ate
No I did not miss a plate well
How much do these suppers cost?
We'll take it out in hate
[Verse 9]
I spent my hatred everyplace
On every work on every face
Someone gave me wishes
And I wished for an embrace
[Verse 10]
Several girls embraced me then
I was embraced by men
Is my passion perfect?
No do it once again
[Verse 11]
I was handsome I was strong
I knew the words of every song
Did my singing please you?
No the words you sang were wrong
[Verse 12]
Who is it whom I address
Who takes down what I confess?
Are you the teachers of my heart?
We teach old hearts to rest
[Verse 13]
Oh teachers are my lessons done?
I cannot do another one
They laughed and laughed and said Well child
Are your lessons done?
Are your lessons done?
Are your lessons done?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
10. One of Us Cannot Be Wrong
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
I lit a thin green candle
to make you jealous of me
but the room just filled up with mosquitoes
they heard that my body was free.
Then I took the dust of a long sleepless night
and I put it in your little shoe
and then I confess that I tortured the dress
that you wore for the world to look through.
[Verse 2]
I showed my heart to the doctor
he said I'd just have to quit
then he wrote himself a perscription
and your name was mentioned in it.
Then he locked himself in a library shelf
with the details of our honeymoon
and I hear from the nurse
that he's gotten much worse
and his practice is all in a ruin.
[Verse 3]
I heard of a saint who had loved you
So I studied all night in his school
he taught that the duty of lovers
is to tarnish the golden rule.
And just when I was sure
that his teachings were pure
he drowned himself in the pool
his body is gone but back here on the lawn
his spirit continues to drool.
[Verse 4]
An Eskimo showed me a movie
he'd recently taken of you
the poor man could hardly stop shivering
his lips and his fingers were blue.
I suppose that he froze
when the wind took your clothes
and I guess he just never got warm
but you stand there so nice in your blizzard of ice
o please let me come into the storm.
[Ending]
