Tom: Am
Am G
I came upon a charming girl and Sarah is her name
Em Am
Her parents want a husband with riches, wealth and fame
A G
I have no wealth but riches and fame, has never come my way
Am Em Am
'til the night I went to visit my love and through the keyhole say:
[Chorus]
Am G
Sarah, Sarah won’t you come out tonight
Em Am
Sarah, Sarah the moon is shining bright
A G
Put your hat and jacket on, tell your mother you won’t be long
Em Am
And I’ll be waiting for you round the corner!
[Verse 2]
Am G
My Sarah is the girl like this, a girl you seldom see
Em Am
She loves me only for myself and not for my money
A G
Every night at eight o’clock, she puts the needle away
Am Em Am
And standing just outside her door and through the keyhole say:
[Chorus]
Am G
Sarah, Sarah won’t you come out tonight
Em Am
Sarah, Sarah the moon is shining bright
A G
Put your hat and jacket on, tell your mother you won’t be long
Em Am
And I’ll be waiting for you round the corner!
[Verse 3]
Am G
One night a little after eight, I crept up to her door
Em Am
And whispered, “Sarah, darling” as I often done before
NC
“I’ll give you Sarah” said a voice, as down I went to flop!
NC
And her Mother sang as she kicked me all around the shop!
[Chorus]
Am G
Sarah, Sarah won’t you come out tonight
Em Am
Sarah, Sarah the moon is shining bright
A G
Put your hat and jacket on, tell your mother you won’t be long
Em Am
And I’ll be waiting for you round the corner!
[Verse 4]
Am G
The old woman thought she killed me and I let her think so too
Em Am
As I lay there on the floor I scarce knew what to do
A G
At last she said ” alive or dead? My girl I’ll let him wed.”
Am Em Am
And up I jumps said “Thank you, Ma’am” and to my girl I said:
[Chorus]
Am G
Sarah, Sarah won’t you come out tonight
Em Am
Sarah, Sarah the moon is shining bright
A G
Put your hat and jacket on, tell your mother you won’t be long
Em Am
And I’ll be waiting for you round the corner!
