WIDE SARGASSO SEA
G+G FF
In the beginning she was stunning and pure
C majorC Eb MajorEb
When he first saw her he fainted to the floor
G+G FF
She was distant and arrogant from the start
C majorC Eb MajorEb
She did not see the fragile state of his heart
G+G
She fell in love with him
FF
On that very day
C majorC
She became softer
Eb MajorEb
In every way
C majorC
Even though
D MajorD
They were so in love
C majorC
They drew a line in the sand
D MajorD
Just because
C majorC
They did not know each other
D MajorD
They did not trust
C majorC
The only thing that they did together
D MajorD
Was to make love
BREAK: from 0:53 to 1:02

G+G FF
So paradise found was not paradise to him
C majorC
Oh yes he loved her
Eb MajorEb
But he was still an Englishman
G+G
Tropical birds
FF
And the heat
And the ocean
C majorC
Only drove him crazy
Eb MajorEb
Drove her away from him
C majorC
Even though
D MajorD
They were so in love
C majorC
They drew a line in the sand
D MajorD
Just because
C majorC
They did not know each other
D MajorD
They did not trust
C majorC
The only thing that they did together
D MajorD
Was to make love

G+G
She burned his house down saying
FF
You may have forgotten me
C majorC
But you’ll remember this
Eb MajorEb
You fell to the ground when you saw this
G+G FF
My face my eyes my lips
C majorC
You may have forgotten me
Eb MajorEb
But you’ll never forget this kiss
C majorC
Even though
D MajorD
They were so in love
C majorC
They drew a line in the sand
D MajorD
Just because
C majorC
They did not know each other
D MajorD
They did not trust
C majorC
The only thing that they did together
D MajorD
Was to make love
BREAK: G+G FF G+G FF with slide guitar
G+G
When that big house burned down all around her
FF
In the smoke and the fire
C majorC Eb MajorEb
In the devastation they never found her
G+G
She went back into her red dress
FF
Back to her white house
C majorC
To her ocean
Eb MajorEb
And after that no words were spoken
G+G
About the two of them
FF C majorC Eb MajorEb
Ever again
C majorC
Even though
D MajorD
They were so in love
C majorC
They drew a line in the sand
D MajorD
Just because
C majorC
They did not know each other
D MajorD
They did not trust
C majorC
The only thing that they did together
D MajorD
Was to make love

THEN : G+G FF C majorC Eb MajorEb - OVER AND OVER UNTIL THE END OF THE SONG.
In the beginning
She was stunning and pure
In the smoke and the fire
Well they never found her
She went back into the ocean
Back to her white house
For a while they were so in love
For a while they were so in love
She burned his house down
NO GUITAR FROM THIS POINT ON UNTIL THE END…
My face
My eyes
My lips
You may have forgotten that
You may have forgotten that
You may have forgotten that
But you’ll never forget that
kiss
