[VERSE 1]
[Am]I came upon a charming girl and [G]Sarah is her name
[Em]Her parents want a husband with r[Am]iches, wealth and fame
[A]I have no wealth but riches and fame, has [G]never come my way
[Am]'til the night I went to visit my love and [Em]through the keyhole [Am]say:
[CHORUS]
[Am]Sarah, Sarah won’t [G]you come out tonight
[Em]Sarah, Sarah the [Am]moon is shining bright
[A]Put your hat and jacket on, [G]tell your mother you won’t be long
[Em]And I’ll be waiting for you round the [Am]corner!
[VERSE 2]
[Am]My Sarah is the girl like this, a [G]girl you seldom see
[Em]She loves me only for myself and [Am]not for my money
[A]Every night at eight o’clock, she [G]puts the needle away
[Am]And standing just outside her door and [Em]through the keyhole [Am]say:
[CHORUS]
[Am]Sarah, Sarah won’t [G]you come out tonight
[Em]Sarah, Sarah the [Am]moon is shining bright
[A]Put your hat and jacket on, [G]tell your mother you won’t be long
[Em]And I’ll be waiting for you round the [Am]corner!
[VERSE 3]
[Am]One night a little after eight, I [G]crept up to her door
[Em]And whispered, "Sarah, darling” as I [Am]often done before
NC
"I’ll give you Sarah” said a voice, as down I went to flop!
NC
And her Mother sang as she kicked me all around the shop!
[CHORUS]
Sarah, [Am]Sarah won’t [G]you come out tonight
[Em]Sarah, Sarah the [Am]moon is shining bright
[A]Put your hat and jacket on, [G]tell your mother you won’t be long
[Em]And I’ll be waiting for you round the [Am]corner!
[VERSE 4]
[Am]The old woman thought she killed me and I [G]let her think so too
[Em]As I lay there on the floor I [Am]scarce knew what to do
[A]At last she said ” alive or dead? My [G]girl I’ll let him wed.”
[Am]And up I jumps said "Thank you, Ma’am” and [Em]to my girl I [Am]said:
[CHORUS]
[Am]Sarah, Sarah won’t [G]you come out tonight
[Em]Sarah, Sarah the [Am]moon is shining bright
[A]Put your hat and jacket on, [G]tell your mother you won’t be long
[Em]And I’ll be waiting for you round the [Am]corner!
