[Intro]
      D                       A
In a world like today
                                                D                    A
It's a rare occasion to be able to see young mothers
                                     D                          F#m
Like the ones that were around when I grew up
                            D                             A
But they live on in memory to quite a few of us
             D                        E                D                             A
And this song is dedicated to those who cherish that memory

[Verse 1]
A           E         F#m         E  F#m
Early one Sunday morning
A                E             F#m E F#m
Breakfast was on the table
A                       E       B
There was no time to eat
                    Bm
She said to me
                         F#m       E
"Boy, hurry to Sunday school"
A                  E                F#m E F#m
Filled with her load of glory
A                        E    F#m E F#m
We learned the holy story
A                    E               B
She'll always have her dreams
                        Bm
Despite the things
                         F#m           E
This troubled world can bring

[Chorus]
              D
Oh, Sadie
C#m                          A
Don't you know we love you?
           D
Sweet Sadie
  C#m                  A
Place no one above you
              D
Sweet Sadie (Well, well, well)
 C#m                F#m
Living in the past
                               D
Some times it seems so funny
         C#m                 D         F#m              E
But no money will turn your life around

[Verse 2]
A                       E           F#m E F#m
Sweeter than cotton candy
   A                     E                 F#m E F#m
Stronger than papa's old brandy
 A              E                  B
Always that needed smile
            Bm
Once in awhile
                  F#m                   E
She would break down and cry
A                        E             F#m E F#m
Sometimes she'd be so happy
A                      E           F#m E F#m
Just being with us and daddy
A               E                 B
Standing the worst of times
                    Bm
Breaking the binds
                F#m         E
With just a simple song

[Chorus]
          D
Oh, Sadie
C#m                             A
Don't you know we love you?

Place no one above you

Living in the past
     D                C#m
Oh, she's never sinnin'

In love, she's always winnin', yeah

Living in the past

If there's a heaven up above
                 D                         F#m        E
I know she's teaching angels how to love

 D
Sadie (It's a mean world without you)
C#m                        A
Don't you know we love you?

Ain't it funny that in the end, it's not money?

It's just the love you gave us all
