Sadie Chords by Spinners

[A] _ _ _ [D] _ _ [A] _ _ [C#] _
_ [F#m] _ _ _ [D] _ [A] _ In a world [D] like today, [A] it's a rare occasion [D] to be able to see [A] young mothers like the ones that were around [C#] when I grew [F#m] up.
[D] But they live on in memory [A] to quite a few of us.
_ [D] [E] And this song is dedicated to [D] those who cherish that [A] memory.
_ _ _ _ _ Early [E] one [F#m] Sunday morning, _ _ [A] breakfast [E] was on [F#m] the table.
_ _ [D] There [C#m] was no [B] time to eat, she said to [Bm] me.
Boy, [D] hurry to [E] Sunday school, _ [A] filled with [E] a lot [F#m] of glory.
_ _ [A] We learned [E] the whole [F#m] story.
_ _ _ [A] She'll [C#m] always [B] have her dream, _ [Bm] despite the things this [F#m] troubled [E] world can bring.
[F#m] Oh, say, _ _ [E] don't you know [G] we [A] love you [D] sweet Sadie?
[C#m] Place no [Em] one [A] above you [D] sweet Sadie.
Well, well, [C#m] well, in the [F#m] past, [Bm] sometimes it seems so [A] funny.
No [D] money will turn [E] your life [E] around.
[A] _
_ [E] Sweeter than [F#m] cotton candy, _ _ _
[A] [E] stronger than [F#m] papa's old brandy. _ _
[B] [C#m] Always that [B] needed smile.
Once [Bm] in a while, she [D] would break [E] down and cry. _
[A] [E] Sometimes she'd be [F#m] so happy. _ _
[A] Staying [E] with [F#m] us and daddy. _ _
[A] Standing [C#m] the worst [B] of times, breaking [Bm] the binds with just a [E] simple song. _
[F#m] Oh, Sadie Mae, [C#m] _ [G] still [A] loving us [D] all in your special way.
Well, [C#m] well, well, place no [Em] one above you [F#m] sweet Sadie.
_ [C#m] Living in the [F#m] past, _
[Bm] oh, she [A] never said it.
[D] In love, she's [E] always [E] winning, [F#m] yeah.
_ My, [E] my, my, my, my, [G] _
[F#m] I love you mama.
_ _ [E] _ [Em] I just can't [F#m] forget how you gave me [C#m] love.
Oh, _ [F#m] if [Bm] there's a heaven [A] up above, I [D] know she's teaching angels [E] how to [E]
[F#m] love.
_ It's a [E] mean world [G] without [A]
[F#m] you.
I'm gonna love you, [E] sure.
[G] Oh, how could anyone [D] ever doubt you love the [C#m] world, well.
_ [F#m] _
[Bm] Ain't it funny, that [A] in the end, it's not [D] money.
It's [E] just the [E] love you gave [F#m] us all.
Why, [C#m] why, do [G] the good [F#m] leave so soon?
[C#m] Place no [G] one above [F#m] you sweet _ Sadie.
[E] Living [F#m] in the past, [Bm] oh, she never said [A] _ [D] it.
In love, she's always winning, [E] [E] yeah.
[F#m] _ _ _ _ [C#m] Don't you [Em] know we [C#] love you [F#m] sweet Sadie.
_ _ _ [E] Place no [G] one above [F#m] you sweet _ Sadie.
Let me just [C#m] try, just try [F#m] one more time and say [Bm] I, and though we [A] were very poor, [D] she tried to love us [E] that much [E] more.
[F#m] Oh, have [C#m] you ever, [G] have you [F#m] ever met Sadie?
[E] Place no [G] one above you [F#m] sweet Sadie.
The premier of [E] ladies.
Living in [F#m] the past, [Bm] oh, sometimes [A] I feel so [D] alone.
But I [E] know that I [E] gotta go [F#m] on.
It's what she wanted from [C#m] me.
Don't you [G] know we [A] love you sweet [F#m] Sadie.
I know it's gonna be hard sometimes.
[E] Place no [G] one above [Em] you sweet Sadie. [F#m] Oh, Sadie.
[E] Living in the [F#m] past.
Oh, no, no, [Bm] my mama's no [A] longer here.
[D] Come and we'll [E] still reign [F#m] as near.
[E] Oh, [F#m] just let me run, let me run, [E] let me go, go.
[G] Don't you know we [Em] love you sweet [F#m] Sadie.
Why you wanna make me [E] feel so [Em] down?
Place no one above you sweet [D] Sadie.
Well, well, let's get going.
_ [E] Keep [F#m] _ _ _
[Bm] on [A] moving.
