[Verse 1]
Em
I laid on a dune
Am
I looked at the sky
D
When the children were babies
Em
And played on the beach
You came up to behind me
Am
I saw you go by
D
You were always so close
Em
and still within' reach
[Chorus 1]
G Bm C
Sara, oh oh Sara
D C Em
Whatever made you want to change your mind
G Bm C
Sara, oh oh Sara
D C Em
So easy to look at, so hard to define.
[Verse 2]
I can still see them playin'
Am
With their pails in the sand
D
They run to the water
Em
Their buckets to fill
I can still see the shells
Am
Fallin' out of their hands
D
As they follow each other
Em
Back up the hill
[Chorus 2]
G Bm C
Sara, oh oh Sara
D C Em
Sweet virgin angel, sweet love of my life
G Bm C
Sara, oh oh Sara
D C Em
Radiant jewel, mystical wife
[Verse 3]
Sleepin' in the woods
Am
By a fire in the night
D
Drinkin' white rum
Em
In a Portugal bar
Them playin' leap-frog
Am
And hearin' about Snow White
D
You in the market place
Em
In Savanna-la-Mar
[Chorus 3]
G Bm C
Sara, oh oh Sara
D C Em
It's all so clear, I could never forget
G Bm C
Sara, oh oh Sara
D C Em
Lovin' you is the one thing I'll never regret
[Verse 4]
I can still hear the sounds
Am
Of those Methodist bells
D
I'd taken the cure
Em
And had just gotten through
Stayin' up for days
Am
In the Chelsea Hotel
D
Writin' "Sad-Eyed Lady
Em
Of the Lowlands" for you
[Chorus 4]
G Bm C
Sara, oh oh Sara
D C Em
Wherever we travel we're never apart
G Bm C
Sara, oh oh Sara
D C Em
Beautiful lady, so dear to my heart
[Verse 5]
How did I meet you
Am
I don't know
D
A messenger sent me
Em
In a tropical storm
You were there in the winter
Am
Moonlight on the snow
D
And on Lily Pond Lane
Em
When the weather was warm
[Chorus 5]
G Bm C
Sara, oh oh Sara
D C Em
Scorpio Sphinx in a calico dress
G Bm C
Sara, oh oh Sara
D C Em
You must forgive me my unworthiness
[Verse 6]
Now the beach is deserted
Am
Except for some kelp
D
And a piece of an old ship
Em
That lies on the shore
You always responded
Am
When I needed your help
D
You gimme a map
Em
And a key to your door
[Chorus 6]
G Bm C
Sara, oh oh Sara
D C Em
Glamorous nymph with an arrow and bow
G Bm C
Sara, oh oh Sara
D C Em
Don't ever leave me, don't ever go
