Nickel Creek – Sabra Girl (Guitar)

Bm         D         A      Em
Lonely the life that once I led.

Bm          D                 A
Strange the paths on which we tred

D                 G          A
Led me to you, unlikely but true.

Em    A     Bm          A
Sabra girl, clouding my view.

Bm         D             A      Em
Rainy the day the first time we met.

Bm            D                   A
Deep was the talk and forever my debt.

   D             G             A
It didn't seem wrong to sing a sad song.

Em    A     Bm          A
Sabra girl, soon you'd be gone.

Bm         D             A      Em
Early the morning and sad the goodbye.

     Bm            D                    A
With a wave of your hand and a smile of your eye.

  D           G              A
So lately did meet, no sooner to part.

Em    A      Bm          A
Sabra girl, homeward must start.

Bm         D          A            Em
Rosy the lines that you wrote with your hand.

Bm        D                    A
Reading between them to misunderstand,

  D          G                    A
I made the mistake you said not to make. 

Bm         D          A            Em
Reading your letters conviction did grow.

 Bm            D                    A
I thought it a chance and I knew I must go.

    D          G                A
It's hard to believe I could be so naive.

Em    A      Bm          A
Sabra girl, flattered but deceived.

Bm           D              A            Em
Now you just told me that a friendship is all.

   Bm          D                      A
I'm forced to repair the breach in my wall.

   D          G                 A
Illusions and dreams as usual it seems.

Em    A              Bm          A
Sabra girl, they have been my downfall.

Bm         D        A          Em
Lonely the life and dismal the view.

Bm            D                  A
Closed is the road that leads to you.

     D            G                   A
Since better can't be as friends we'll agree.

Em    A      Bm          A
Sabra girl, time will cure me.
