Em Am7 D7
Clair, the moment I met you, I swear
Bm7 Em
I felt as if something somewhere
Am7 D7
Had happened to me, which I couldn't see
Em Am7 D7
And then, the moment I met you again
Bm7 Em
I knew in my heart that we were friends
Am7 D7
It had to be so, it couldn't be no
G E7 Am7
But try as hard as I might do, I don't know why
D7 Gmaj7
You get to me in a way I can't describe
Cmaj7 A7
Words mean so little when you look up and smile
G6 A7
I don't care what people say to me, you're more than a child
Am7 D7
Oh Clair, Clair

Em Am7 D7
Clair, if ever a moment so rare
Bm7 Em
Was captured for all to compare
Am7 D7
That moment is you, in all that you do
G E7 Am7
But why, in spite of our age difference do I cry
D7 Gmaj7
Each time I leave you I feel I could die
Cmaj7 A7
Nothing means more to me than hearing you say
G6 A7
"I'm going to marry you, will you marry me, Uncle Ray?"
Am7 D7
Oh Clair, Clair
[SOLO]
Em Am7 D7
Clair, I´ve told you before, don't you dare
Bm7 Em Am7 D7
Get back into bed, can't you see that it's late
Bm7 Em
No, you can't have a drink
Am7 D7 G
Oh al-right then, but wait just a bit
E7 Am7
While I in an effort to baby-sit
D7 Gmaj7
Catch of my breath, what there is left of it
Cmaj7 A7
You can be murder at this hour of the day
G6 A7
But in the morning this hour will seem a life-time away
Am7 D7
Oh Clair, Clair
Em Am7 Cmaj7 G
Oh Clair
