Cat Stevens Father and Son Cover

Cat Stevens - Father and Son optional capo 2nd

intro: 3 x 0 0 0 3 (hammer on:) 3 x 2 0 1 3

[Am7] x 0 2 0 1 0
[Em7*] 0 1 1 0 3 0 (G root)
[F#/D] 2 0 0 2 3 0 (D with F# bass note)

Its not [G] time to make a [F#/D] change
Just [C] relax, take it [Am7] easy
Youre still [G] young, thats your [Em7] fault
Theres so [Am7] much you have to [D] know
Find a [G] girl, settle [F#/D] down
if you [C] want you can [Am7] marry
Look at [G] me, I am [Em7] old but Im [Am7] happy [D]

I was [G] once like you are [F#/D] now
and I [C] know that its not [Am7] easy
To be [G] calm when youve [Em7] found
[Am7] something going [D] on
But take your [G] time, think a [F#/D] lot
why think of [C] everything youve [Am7] got
For you will [G] still be here [Em7] tomorrow
but your [D] dreams may [G] not (intro)

How can I [G] try to [F#/D] explain
when I [C] do he turns [Am7] away again
Its [G] always been the [Em7] same
same old [Am7] story [D]
From the [G] moment I could [F#/D] talk I was
[C] ordered to [Am7] listen
Now I know [G] theres a [Em7] way
and I [D] have to go [G] away
I [D] know - I [C] have to [G] go (intro)

Its not [G] time to make a [F#/D] change
just sit [C] down, take it [Am7] slowly
Youre still [G] young, thats your [Em7] fault
theres so [Am7] much you have to go [D] through
Find a [G] girl, settle [F#/D] down
If you [C] want you can [Am7] marry
Look at [G] me, I am [Em7] old, but Im [Am7] happy [D]

All the [G] times that I [F#/D] cried
keeping [C] all the things I [Am7] knew inside
Its [G] hard, but its [Em7] harder to ignore [Am7] it [D]
If they were [G] right, Id [F#/D] agree
but its [C] them you know not [Am7] me
Now theres a [G] way
and I [Em7] know that I [D] have to go [G] away
I [D] know - I [C] have to [G] go

Nice rich tone in the lower register and good emotion in the high. An excellent vocal.
