Am           G/B          C2                      F6
   I can see Sadie in her pink shirt, big blue eyes
                E7           E7#9         Am        F#m7b5
Stealing all my t-shirts and running down Bleecker
Dm9               G13
    Laughing that laugh until she cries
 
C Ddim/C C Ddim/C C Ddim/C
 
Am            G/B          C
    I can see Sadie on the beach
N.C.
Slipping in and out of cartwheels
Am                 G/B                C2                   F6
    She can rock a one-piece with her    perfect ivory skin
              E7            E7#9        Am          F#m7b5
I can see her shadow as the sun sets on Jersey
Dm9                 G13          C6
    Drowning in the ocean of her scent and her grin
 
[Chorus]
 
         F6
And it’s all Sadie
     C2/E
It’s still Sadie
      Dm9
She’s not gone
   Bb13  Fmaj7#11/G
It plays on
     F6
Like an old movie
    Em7(omit5)
The old Sadie
    Dm9
But my Sadie
   Bb9#11       Am
Is not Sadie at all
 
C Ddim/C C Ddim/C C Ddim/C
 
[Verse 2]
 
Am            G/B          C
    I can see Sadie at the Square
C
Serving up the buttered popcorn
Am                G/B             C2               F6
    Picking out a reel to show me Hepburn, Cary Grant
              E7          E7#9    Am    F#m7b5
Closer than a closeup, my matinee idol
Dm9                 G13        C
    She’s my Ginger Rogers, my Fred Astaire, dancing…
 
[Chorus]
 
     F6
It’s all Sadie
     C2/E
It’s still Sadie
      Dm9
She’s not gone
   Bb9#11     G13
It plays      on
        F6
Like an old movie
    C2/E
The old Sadie
    Dm9
But my Sadie
   Bb9#11       F6
Is not Sadie at all
 
[Bridge]
 
F6           C5/E
    Where do idols go
Dm9          F/G
    When the credits play?
E7                                           Fmaj7(add9)
    When the black and white screen fades to gray?
Fmaj7(add9)
    Give me soft focus
E7(#9)
    And a wide-angle lens:
  Am                   G/B
A film strip of Sadies
Csus C     E
Sa - die’s slipping through my fingers again…
 
[Verse 3]
 
Am            G/B        N.C.
    I can see Sadie if I squint
N.C.
Somewhere out in California
Am            G/B             C2
    I can see Sadie but she’s     fading fast
F6                   E7
    All the words we whispered
  E7#9             Am    F#m7b5
I thought I’d re - member
Dm11                   G13     C
    Now it’s just the image of her everlasting
 
F6   C2/e   Dn9   Bb9#11
 
[Chorus]
 
G13             Dm7/F
Just like an old movie
    Csus2
The old Sadie
    Am   G#         C/G   F#m7b5
But my   Sadie is   my    Sadie
Dm9    G13
My     Sadie -
C Ddim/C C Ddim/C C Ddim/C
Am               G/B
    I didn’t see Sadie at all
