[Intro]
A D A
Asus4 A Asus2 F#m
D A
D D5 A
In a world like today It's a rare occasion to be able
D A
to see young mothers
Asus4 A Asus2 F#m
Like the ones that were around when I grew up
D A
But they live on in memory to quite a few of us
D E D D5 A
And this song is dedicated to those who cherish that memory
[Verse]
A E F#m E/B F#m
Early one Sunday morning
A E F#m E/B F#m
Breakfast was on the table
A E B
There was no time to eat
Bm7
She said to me
F#m F#m E
"Boy, hurry to Sunday school"
[Verse]
A E F#m E/B F#m
Filled with her load of glory
A E F#m E/B F#m
We learned the holy story
A E B
She'll always have her dreams
Bm7
Despite the things
F#m F#m E
This troubled world can bring
[Chorus]
Dmaj7
Oh, Sadie
C#m A
Don't you know we love you
Bm7 Dmaj7
Sweet Sadie
C#m A
Place no one above you
Bm7 Dmaj7
Sweet Sadie (well, well, well)
C#m F#m
Living in the past
D
Some times it seems so funny
C#m D F#m F#m E
But no money will turn your life around
[Verse 2]
A E F#m E/B F#m
Sweeter than cotton candy
A E F#m E/B F#m
Stronger than papa's old brandy
A E B
Always that needed smile
Bm7
Once in awhile
F#m F#m E
She would break down and cry
[Verse 2]
A E F#m E/B F#m
Sometimes she'd be so happy
A E F#m E/B F#m
Just being with us and daddy
A E B
Standing the worst of times
Bm7
Breaking the binds
F#m F#m E
With just a simple song
[Chorus]

Oh, Sadie

Sweet Sadie

Sweet Sadie (well, well, well)
C#m F#m
Living in the past

In love she's always winnin, yeah

Bm7 Dmaj7
Sweet Sadie (how you gave me love, oh, Lord)
C#m F#m
Living in the past
D C#m
If there's a heaven up above
D F#m F#m E
I know she's teaching angels how to love
[Outro]

Sadie (It's a mean world without you)

Don't you know we love you

Sweet Sadie
C#m F#m
Living in the past

Ain't it funny that in the end it's not money
D F#m F#m E
It's just the love you gave us all ...
