CLAIR       GILBERT O?SULLIVAN
Written by G. O?Sullivan
1976, Happenstance Ltd.

Intro:  E  A7   D7   /
E            A7             D7
Clair,  the moment I met you I swear,
   B7                   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,
    B7                             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
     B7                   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
