[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       Am
Sara, oh oh Sara

    D                       C         Em
Whatever made you want to change your mind

G  Bm       Am
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       Am
Sara, oh oh Sara

  D                        C         Em
Sweet virgin angel, sweet love of my life

G  Bm       Am
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       Am
Sara, oh oh Sara

     D                     C        Em
It's all so clear, I could never forget

G  Bm       Am
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       Am
Sara, oh oh Sara

     D                    C      Em
Wherever we travel we're never apart

G  Bm       Am
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       Am
Sara, oh oh Sara

  D                  C      Em
Scorpio Sphinx in a calico dress

G  Bm       Am
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       Am
Sara, oh oh Sara

  D                     C         Em
Glamorous nymph with an arrow and bow

G  Bm       Am
Sara, oh oh Sara

  D                   C         Em
Don't ever leave me, don't ever go
