[Vers 1:]

F#m7       Bm7                 E7/13  E7 
Clair, the moment I met you, I swear,    

  C#m7                     F#m   F#m/E     Bm7             
I felt as if something somewhere       had happened to me, 

      Bm6/G#          E7           F#m7 Bm7              E7/13 E7 
which I couldn't see.    And then, the moment I met you again,    

  C#m7                     F#m           F#m/E    Bm7           
I knew in my heart that we were friends,       it had to be so, 

   Bm6/G#          E7 
it couldn't be no.    

[Chorus:]

        Aj7 Gdim7                      Bm7       
But try as hard as I might do, I don't know why, 

    E7/9                 Aj7             A6                   
you get to me in a way I can't describe. Words mean so little 

         F#m6/A                          A6               
when you look up and smile, I don't care what people say, 

             B7/9                         Bm7 E7/13 E7 
to me you're more than a child. Oh Clair, Clair.       

[Vers 2:]

F#m7      Bm7              E7/13 E7 
Clair, if ever a moment so rare     

    C#m7                   F#m   F#m/E      Bm7           
was captured for all to compare,       that moment is you 

   Bm6/G#           E7 
in all that you do.    

[Chorus:]

    Aj7    Gdim7                       Bm7            E7/9             
But why in spite of our age difference do I cry, each time I leave you 

       Aj7          A6                            F#m6/A          
I feel I could die. Nothing means more to me than hearing you say 

             A6                        B7/9           
I'm going to marry you, will you marry me, Uncle Ray. 

   Bm7    E7/13  E7 
Oh Clair, Clair.

[Vers 3:]

F#m7        Bm7                       E7/13 E7          Aj7       F#m7 
Clair, I've told you before don't you dare,    get back into bed,      

              Bm7             E7/13               Aj7           F#m7 
can't you see that it's late,       no, you can't have a drink,      

            Bm7            E7/13 
oh, alright then, but wait 

[Chorus:]

            Aj7       Gdim7                Bm7    
just a bit.     While I, in an effort to babysit, 

      E7/9                          Aj7             A6            
catch up on my breath what there is left of it. You can be murder 

        F#m6/A                     A6              
at this hour of the day but in the morning the sun 

            B7/9                     Bm7 E7/13 E7 
will see my lifetime away. Oh Clair, Clair.       

[Ending:]

----  ---- ----     Oh Clair. ----
