[Intro] Em  Am  D  Em
        Em  Am  D  Em
        G  Bm  Am  D  C  Em
        G  Bm  Am  D  C  Em

  Em                Am
I laid on a dune, I looked at the sky
         D                        Em
When the children were babies and played on the beach
    Em                   Am
You came up behind me, I saw you go by
         D                    Em
You were always so close and still within reach

G Bm  Am
Sara, Sara
D                         C           Em
Whatever made you want to change your mind?
G Bm  Am
Sara, Sara
   D                   C         Em
So easy to look at, so hard to define

      Em                                Am
I can still see them playin' with their pails in the sand
     D                      Em
They run to the water their buckets to fill
       Em                          Am
I can still see the shells fallin' out of their hands
        D
As they follow each other back up the hill

G Bm  Am
Sara, Sara
D                         C          Em
Sweet virgin angel, sweet love of my life
G Bm  Am
Sara, Sara
D              C        Em
Radiant jewel, mystical wife

  Em                     Am
Sleepin' in the woods by a fire in the night
     D               Em
Drinkin' white rum in a Portugal bar
        Em                   Am
Them playin' leapfrog and hearin' about Snow White
          D
You in the marketplace in Savanna-la-Mar

G Bm  Am
Sara, Sara
D                   C          Em
It's all so clear, I could never forget
G Bm  Am
Sara, Sara
D                    C            Em
Lovin' you is the one thing I'll never regret

  Em                        Am
I can still hear the sounds of those Methodist bells
      D                  Em
I'd taken the cure and had just gotten through
   Em                      Am
Stayin' up for days in the Chelsea Hotel
         D
Writin' "Sad-Eyed Lady of the Lowlands" for you

G Bm  Am
Sara, Sara
D                  C          Em
Wherever we travel we're never apart
G Bm  Am
Sara, oh Sara
D                C          Em
Beautiful lady, so dear to my heart

   Em              Am
How did I meet you? I don't know
      D                  Em
A messenger sent me in a tropical storm
   Em                        Am
You were there in the winter, moonlight on the snow
       D
And on Lily Pond Lane when the weather was warm

G Bm  Am
Sara, oh Sara
D               C          Em
Scorpio Sphinx in a calico dress
G Bm  Am
Sara, Sara
D                     C        Em
You must forgive me my unworthiness

   Em                      Am
Now the beach is deserted except for some kelp
      D                         Em
And a piece of an old ship that lies on the shore
   Em                       Am
You always responded when I needed your help
        D
You gave me a map and a key to your door

G Bm  Am
Sara, oh Sara
D                      C         Em
Glamorous nymph with an arrow and bow
G Bm  Am
Sara, oh Sara
D                   C         Em
Don't ever leave me, don't ever go
