Intro: e a7 D7 /
e a7 D7
Clair, the moment I met you I swear,
h7 e
I felt as if something somewhere
a7 F# D7 e
Had happened to me, wich I couldn´t see. And then
a7 D7
The moment I met you again,
h7 e
I knew in my heart that we were friends
a7 F# D7 G
It had to be so, it couldn´t be no; But try
E7 a7
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 A7I
Words mean so little when you look up and smile
G6
I don´t care what people say.
A7II a7 D7
To me, you´re more than a child. Oh Clair, Clair.
-----------------------------------
e a7 D7
Clair if ever a moment so rare
h7 e
was captured for all to compare
a7 F# D7 G
That moment is you, in all that you do. But why
E7 a7
In spite of our age diff´rence do I cry
D7 Gmaj7
- each time I leave you I feel I could die,
Cmaj7 A7I
Nothing means more to me than hearing you say:
G6
"I´m going to marry you, will
A7II
you marry me, Uncle Ray?"
a7 D7
Oh Clair, Clair.
--------------------------------------
e a7 D7
Clair, I´ve told you before, don´t you dare
Gmaj7 e a7 D7
Get back into bed, can´t you see that it´s late,
Gmaj7 e
No you can´t have a drink.
a7 D7 G
Oh alright then but wait just a bit
E7 a7
While I in an effort to baby sit
D7 Gmaj7
capture my breath when there is left of it.
Cmaj7 A7I
You can be murder at this hour of the day
G6
But in the morning, this sorrow will seem a
A7II a7 D7
lifetime away. Oh Clair, Clair
Cmaj7 G a7 D7 Gmaj7
Oh Clair
