Thin Lizzy - Sarah (1972)
Transcribed by Jon Malmin (jogusmal@hotmail.com)
Tuning: Standard E
This song is from "Shades of a Blue Orphanage", so it's not the same as the more
famous jazzpop-tune from "Black Rose". Fingerpick the song all the way through.
Captain's hair
shone softly in the sun
Rode on his best mare
to Sarah
Schoolboy eyes
would stare in innocent fun
Never told no lies, he loved...
...Sarah
Whispered by a bramble,
carried by a brook
to every fisher's hook,
Sarah...
[Solo backing]
Fragrant fields
Playing croquet in the sun
Nothing appeals
like Sarah
Whispered by a bramble,
carried by a brook
to every fisher's hook,
Sarah...
