[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       C
Sara, oh oh Sara
    D                       C         Em
Whatever made you want to change your mind
G  Bm       C
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       C
Sara, oh oh Sara
  D                        C         Em
Sweet virgin angel, sweet love of my life
G  Bm       C
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       C
Sara, oh oh Sara
     D                     C        Em
It's all so clear, I could never forget
G  Bm       C
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       C
Sara, oh oh Sara
     D                    C      Em
Wherever we travel we're never apart
G  Bm       C
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       C
Sara, oh oh Sara
  D                  C      Em
Scorpio Sphinx in a calico dress
G  Bm       C
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       C
Sara, oh oh Sara
  D                     C         Em
Glamorous nymph with an arrow and bow
G  Bm       C
Sara, oh oh Sara
  D                   C         Em
Don't ever leave me, don't ever go

[Outro]
