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 couldn´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 couldn´t be no; But try
A                        E          D
as hard as I might do I don´t know why,
D            D*            Dmaj7
- You get to me in a way I can´t describe.
Dmaj7                         B11/E
Words mean so little when you look up and smile
             Dmaj7           
I don´t care what people say.
              D                  B11/E     E
To me, you´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 diff´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
"I´m going to marry you, will
          D
you marry me, Uncle Ray?"
   B11/E      E
Oh Clair,     Clair.
--------------------------------------
B11/E                                   D*
Clair,  I´ve told you before, don´t you dare
    E                        D*
Get back into bed, can´t you see that it´s late,
       Dmaj7          
No you can´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
