[Intro 1]
[Am][F][C][E][Am][F][C]
[F][C]
[F]Spoken Intro: (In a

[Verse 1]
[C]
world like today
Its a rare occasion to be [E]able
To see young mothers like [Am]the ones
That [Dm]were around when [F]I grew up
[C]But they live on in memory
[F]To quite a few [G]of us
And this song is [F]dedicated
[C]To those who cherish that memory)
Early one [G]Sunday [Am]morning

[Verse 2]
[C]
Breakfast was [G]on [Am]the table
[C]There was no tim[Em]e to eat[D]
She said to [Dm]me, boy,
hurry [F]to Sunday [G]school

[Verse 3]
[C]Filled with her loa[G]d of [Am]glory
[C]We learned the[G] holy sto[Am]ry
[C]She'll always hav[Em]e her dre[D]ams
Despite the [Dm]things this
[F]troubled world can [G]bring

[Verse 4]
Oh, [F]Sadie[Am]
[Em]Don't you know we [Gm]love you
[C]Sweet [F]Sadie
We love you [Am]Sadie
[Em]Place no one [Gm]above you
[C]Sweet Sadie

[Verse 5]
[F](Well, well, well)
[G]Living in the[Am] past
Some [Dm]times it seems so [C]funny
Mo money will [F]turn your life [G]around[C]
[G]Sweeter than [Am]cotton

[Verse 6]
[C]candy
Stronger [G]than [Am]papee's old brandy
[C]Always that nee[Em]ded smi[D]le
Once in [Dm]awhile she would
[F]break down and [G]cry[C]
Some [G]times shed be [Am]so

[Verse 7]
[C]happy
Just being [G]with us [Am]and daddy[C]
[Em]Standing the worst of [D]times
Breaking the [Dm]binds
With just [F]a simple [G]song

[Verse 8]
[F]Oh, Sadie (Sadie) Mae
