Sarah Maria
(James Taylor) @ 1975
Well the moon is in the ocean E  
and the stars are in the sky A  B7  E  
and all that I can see E  
is my sweet Maria's eyes A  B7  E  
Sarah, Sarah Maria. [  A   F#m   B7   E]
Sarah Maria, ya, ya, ya, ya. A  F#m  B7  E  
Well, you know 'bout the sugar cane E  
that comes from way down south A  B7  E  
She got one end in her hand E  
she got one end in her mouth A  B7  E  
Sarah, Sarah Maria. [  A   F#m   B7   E]
Sarah Maria, ya, ya, ya, ya. A  F#m  B7  E  
She took me out walkin' E  
to the corner of the world A  B7  E  
Where everyone was a-talkin' E  
about such a pretty little girl A  B7  E  
Sarah, Sarah Maria. [  A   F#m   B7   E]
Sarah Maria, ya, ya, ya, ya. A  F#m  B7  E
