Em Am D7
1. Clair, the moment I met you I swear,
Bm Em
I felt as if something somewhere
Am C D
had happened
to me, which I couldnīt see.
Em Am D7
And then the moment I met you
again,
Bm Em
I knew in my heart that we
were friends,
Am C D7
it
had to be so, it couldnīt be no.
G E Am
But try as hard as I might do,
I donīt know why
D G
you
get to me in a way I canīt describe.
C A7
Words mean so little when you look
up and smile
Em A7
I donīt
care what people say to me youīre more than a child,
Am D
oh,
Clair, Clair.
Em Am D7
2. Clair, if ever a moment so rare
Bm Em
was
captured for all to compare
Am F# D7
that
moment is you, in all that you do.
G E Am
But why in spite of our age
difference do I cry,
D7 G
each
time I leave you I feel I could die ?
C A7
Nothing means more to me than hearing
you say:
G A7
Iīm
going to marry you, will you marry me, Uncle Ray ?
Am D7
Oh, Clair, Clair
!

3. Clair, Iīve told you before, donīt you dare,
Bm Em Am
get
back into bed, canīt you see that itīs
late ?
Bm Em
No, you canīt
have a drink,
Am D7 G
oh,
alright then, but wait just a bit,
E Am
while
I in an effort to baby sit,
D7 G
capture
my breath, what there is left of it.
C
A7
You can be murder at this hour
of the day,
G A7
but
in the morning this sorrow will seem a lifetime away,
Am D7
oh,
Clair, Clair.

Clair.
