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