Tuning: G C E A (G C E A)

Verse 1:
Bm     D     A   Em
Lonely the life that once I led.
Bm     D         A
Strange the paths on which we tred
D         G     A
Led me to you, unlikely but true.
Em  A   Bm     A
Sabra girl, clouding my view.


Verse 2:
Bm     D       A   Em
Rainy the day the first time we met.
Bm      D          A
Deep was the talk and forever my debt.
  D       G       A
It didn't seem wrong to sing a sad song.
Em  A   Bm     A
Sabra girl, soon you'd be gone.

Verse 3:
Bm     D       A   Em
Early the morning and sad the goodbye.
   Bm      D          A
With a wave of your hand and a smile of your eye.
 D      G       A
So lately did meet, no sooner to part.
Em  A   Bm     A
Sabra girl, homeward must start.


Verse 4:
Bm     D     A      Em
Rosy the lines that you wrote with your hand.
Bm    D          A
Reading between them to misunderstand,
 D     G          A
I made the mistake you said not to make.
Em A


Verse 5:
Bm     D     A      Em
Reading your letters conviction did grow.
 Bm      D          A
I thought it a chance and I knew I must go.
  D     G        A
It's hard to believe I could be so naive.
Em  A   Bm     A
Sabra girl, flattered but deceived.


Verse 6:
Bm      D       A      Em
Now you just told me that a friendship is all.
  Bm     D           A
I'm forced to repair the breach in my wall.
  D     G         A
Illusions and dreams as usual it seems.
Em  A       Bm     A
Sabra girl, they have been my downfall.


Verse 7:
Bm     D    A     Em
Lonely the life and dismal the view.
Bm      D         A
Closed is the road that leads to you.
   D      G          A
Since better can't be as friends we'll agree.
Em  A   Bm     A
Sabra girl, time will cure me.
