B11/E D*
Clair, the moment I met you I swear,
D* B11/E
I felt as if something somewhere
E D* B11/E
Had happened to me, wich I couldnĀ“t see. And then
B11/E D*
The moment I met you again,
D* B11/E
I knew in my heart that we were friends
E B11/E A
It had to be so, it couldnĀ“t be no; But try
A E D
as hard as I might do I donĀ“t know why,
D D* Dmaj7
- You get to me in a way I canĀ“t describe.
Dmaj7 B11/E
Words mean so little when you look up and smile
Dmaj7
I donĀ“t care what people say.
D B11/E E
To me, youĀ“re more than a child. Oh Clair, Clair.

B11/E D*
Clair if ever a moment so rare
D* B11/E
was captured for all to compare
E B11/E A
That moment is you, in all that you do. But why
A D
In spite of our age diffĀ“rence do I cry
D D* Dmaj7
- each time I leave you I feel I could die,
Dmaj7 B11/E
Nothing means more to me than hearing you say:
Dmaj7
"IĀ“m going to marry you, will
D
you marry me, Uncle Ray?"
B11/E E
Oh Clair, Clair.
--------------------------------------
B11/E D*
Clair, IĀ“ve told you before, donĀ“t you dare
E D*
Get back into bed, canĀ“t you see that itĀ“s late,
Dmaj7
No you canĀ“t have a drink.
E A
Oh alright then but wait just a bit
D
While I in an effort to baby sit
D* Dmaj7
capture my breath when there is left of it.
Dmaj7 B11/E
You can be murder at this hour of the day
Dmaj7
But in the morning, this sorrow will seem a
D B11/E E
lifetime away. Oh Clair, Clair
