Verse 1

  7    -6   7  8  8  8   -8 7   -7  
Clair, the moment I met you I swear
6  -7  -8 -8  -8    8   -7   -6
I felt as If something somewhere
 6   -5   6  -6 -6
Had happened to me
  -5  -6 -7   7   -8   6    7 
Which I couldn't see, and then
-6   7  8  8  8   -8  7 -7  
The moment I met you again
6  -7  -8 -8   -8    8  -7  7     -6
I knew in my heart that we were friends
 6  -5 6  -6 -6  -5  -6  -7  7  -8   
It had to be so, it couldn't be no
 6   9       8   9  -9 8   8   -9 
But try --- as hard as I might do
9   9    -10  -9   -9  8  -8 7
I don't know why, you get to me
-7 -7 7  -8  -8   8   8 
In a way I can't describe
  8    -8  7   7 -7 
Words mean so little
  7   -8   8  -8  7    7
When you look up and smile
 -7  7     -8   8  -8  7   7 
 I don't care what people say
-7  7   -8    8    -10 8   -8
To me you're more than a child
 7   -8        8     -8   
Oh Clair --- Clair ~~~~~~~

Then verse 2 (same tune) see below
Followed by


Verse 3 (To Finish)

  7     -6    7   8   8  8    -9    9   8 
Clair, I've told you before, don't you dare
 7   -7   6 5  4     5    6   7   -6   -5   -4 
Get back into bed, can't you see that it's late
-6  -7  -8    -7  6   5
No you can't have a drink
-6  7   8   -8   7   -8   8   -9 9
Oh alright then but wait just a bit
  6   9  -9  8  8  -9  9 9 -10  -9 
While I, in an effort to ba-by sit
  -9   8 -8    7
Catch of my breath
 -7    7   -8  -8   8  8 
What there is left of it
 8   -8  7  7  -7  7  -8    8  -8  7   7 
You can be murder at this hour of the day
 -7  7  -8  8  -8    7    7  
But in the morning this hour
 -7    7  -8  8 -10  8 -8
Will seem a lifetime away
 7   -8         8     -8
Oh Clair ---- Clair ~~~~~~~~ 

Oh Clair (Spoken)

Verse 2

Clair, if ever a moment so rare
Was captured for all to compare
That moment is you
It's all that you do
But why, inspite of our age difference
Do I cry ?
Each time I leave you
I feel I could die
Nothing means more to me
Than hearing you say
"I'm going to marry you,
Will you narry me, Uncle Ray"
Oh Clair, Clair
