Key: A
Introduction:
F#m7 Bm7 E
Clair, the moment I met you, I swear
C#m F#m7 F#m7/E
I felt as if something, somewhere
Bm7 G#m7(b5) E
Had happened to me, which I couldn't see
F#m7 Bm7 E
And then, the moment I met you, again
C#m F#m7
I knew in my heart that we were friends
Bm7 G#m7(b5) E
It had to be so, it couldn't be no
A7M A#° Bm7
But try as hard as I might do, I don't know why
E4 E A7M
You get to me in a way I can't describe
D7M D#m7(b5)
Words mean so little when you look up and smile
A/E D#m7(b5)
I don't care what people say, to me you're more than a child
Bm7 E4 E
Oh clair. Clair
F#m7
Clair
Bm7 E
If ever a moment so rare
C#m F#m7 F#m7/E
Was captured for all to compare
Bm7 G#m7(b5) E
That moment is you in all that you do
A7M A#° Bm7
But why in spite of our age difference do I cry
E4 E A7M
Each time I leave you I feel I could die
D7M D#m7(b5)
Nothing means more to me than hearing you say
A/E D#m7(b5)
"I'm going to marry you. Will you marry me uncle ray?"
Bm7 E4 E
Oh clair clair
F#m7 Bm7 E
Clair, I've told you before "don't you dare!"
A7M F#m7
"get back into bed."
Bm7 E
"can't you see that it's late."
A7M F#m7
"no you can't have a drink."
Bm7 E A7M
"oh aright then, but wait just a minute."
A#° Bm7 E4 E
While I, in an effort to babysit, capture my breath
A7M
What there is left of it
D7M D#m7(b5)
You can be murder at this hour of the day
A/E D#m7(b5)
But in the morning the sun will see my lifetime away
Bm7 E4 E
Oh clair clair
A7M
Oh clair
