Capo: 2nd fret

[Instrumental Intro]
E F#m7 A
E F#m7 A

[Verse 1]
E F#m7
At a little canteen south of the border
A A
– Bartender messed up an order
E F#m7
She got my Jose, I got her wine
A A
– I said, “I’ll buy ‘em both this time”
E F#m7
If you dance with me in this blue moonlight
A A
And that – turned into the rest of the night
E F#m7
Like shells in the waves, she swept me away
A A
– For a minute we had it made

[Pre-Chorus]
C#m B
– Sunrise came way too fast
A A
– She had a stateside plane to catch
C#m B A
And I still don’t know where those silver wings took her

[Chorus]
E F#m7
But her name was Sugar, she taste so sweet
A A
In with the tide and out with the breeze
E F#m7
– Kinda high makes you weak in the knees
A A
Right down to your soul
E F#m7
She’s a damn good looker with the bleach blonde hair
A A
And those ocean eyes could be anywhere
E F#m7 A
But it’s lookin’ like I’ll never know
E F#m7 A
Mm, and that memory still comes and goes
A E F#m7 A
Oh, her name was Sugar – (So sweet)

[Verse 2]
E F#m7
By the end of the night my phone had died
A A
She either wrote it down wrong or straight up lied
E F#m7 A
Either way that was our first and only time
E F#m7
And I wonder where she went back home to
A A
Is she with someone or all alone too?
E F#m7 A
All I got to go on’s this one clue

[Chorus]
E F#m7
But her name was Sugar, she taste so sweet
A A
In with the tide and out with the breeze
E F#m7
– Kinda high makes you weak in the knees
A A
Right down to your soul
E F#m7
She’s a damn good looker with the bleach blonde hair
A A
And those ocean eyes could be anywhere
E F#m7 A
But it’s lookin’ like I’ll never know
E F#m7 A
Mm, and that memory still comes and goes
A E F#m7 A
Oh, her name was Sugar – (So sweet)
A E F#m7 A
– Her name was Sugar – (So sweet)

[Bridge]
E F#m7 A
– Maybe I’ll fly back for the hell of it
A E
Find that barstool and just sit on in
F#m7 A
That red one right there at the end
A A
Get drunk and pray she walks in again
E A
Sugar, sweet like it sounds
A A
Salt Life T-shirt laying on the ground
E E F#m7 A
I ain’t forgot that pink flamingo tattoo way on down

[Chorus]
E F#m7
She’s a damn good looker with the bleach blonde hair
A A
And those ocean eyes could be anywhere
E F#m7 A
But it’s lookin’ like I’ll never know
E F#m7 A
Mm, and that memory still comes and goes
A E F#m7 A
Oh, her name was Sugar – (So sweet)
A E F#m7 A
– Her name was Sugar – (So sweet)
A E F#m7
Oh, her name was Sugar
