Sarah Uke tab by Derina Harvey Band

Am                               G

I came upon a charming girl and Sarah is her name,

G                                Am

Her parents want a husband with riches, wealth and fame,

Am                                         D

I have no wealth and riches and fame have never come my way

Am                                         D            Am

til the night I went to visit my love and through the keyhole say:





[Chorus]

Am                  G

Sarah, Sarah, won't you come out tonight?

G                 Am

Sarah, Sarah, the moon is shining bright,

Am                           D                    G

Put you hat and jacket on, tell your mother you won't be long,

   Am                G                 Am

And I'll be waiting for you round the corner





[Verse]

Am                                 G

My Sarah is a girl like this, a girl you seldom see

G                                 Am

She loves me only for myself and not for my money

Am                                 D               G

Every night at eight o'clock, she puts her needle away

Am                    G                                     Am

I'm standing just outside her door and through the keyhole say:





[Chorus]

Am                  G

Sarah, Sarah, won't you come out tonight?

G                 Am

Sarah, Sarah, the moon is shining bright,

Am                           D                    G

Put you hat and jacket on, tell your mother you won't be long,

   Am                G                 Am

And I'll be waiting for you round the corner





[Verse]

Am                                 G

One night a little after eight, I crept up to her door

G                                     Am

and whispered "Sarah, darling," as I'd often done before

Am                                   D                  Am

"I'll give you Sarah!" said a voice, as down I went to flop

Am                                  G               Am

And her Mama sang as she kicked me all around the shop





[Chorus]

Am                  G

Sarah, Sarah, won't you come out tonight?

G                 Am

Sarah, Sarah, the moon is shining bright,

Am                           D                    G

Put you hat and jacket on, tell your mother you won't be long,

   Am                G                 Am

And I'll be waiting for you round the corner





[Verse]

Am                                         G

The old woman thought she killed me and I let her think so too

G                              Am

As I lay there on the floor I scarce knew what to do

Am                                     D                G

At last she said, "Alive or dead? My girl I'll let him wed."

  Am                                       G            Am

And up I jump, said "Thank you, Ma'am" and to my girl I said:





[Chorus]

Am                  G

Sarah, Sarah, won't you come out tonight?

G                 Am

Sarah, Sarah, the moon is shining bright,

Am                           D                    G

Put you hat and jacket on, tell your mother you won't be long,

   Am                G                 Am

And I'll be waiting for you round the corner
