Sarah

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!
