Cat Stevens Father and Son

SOL RE DO LAm7
It's not time to make a change, just relax, take it easy
SOL MIm
you're still young, that's your fault,
LAm RE
there's so much you have to know
SOL RE DO LAm7
Find a girl, settle down, if you want, you can marry
SOL MIm LAm RE
Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy

SOL SIm DO LAm7

I was once like you are now, and I know that's it's not easy
SOL MIm LAm RE
to be calm when you've found something going on
SOL SIm
But take your time, think a lot,
DO LAm7
think of everything you've got
SOL MIm
for you will still be here tomorrow,
RE SOL DO
but your dreams may not

SOL SIm
How can I try to explain,

SOL MIm LAm RE
It's always been the same, same old story.
SOL SIm DO LAm7
From the moment I could talk, I was ordered to listen
SOL MIm RE SOL
now there's a way and I know that I have to go away.
RE DO SOL
I know I have to go

SOL SIm
All the times that I've tried keeping
DO LAm7
all the things I knew inside
SOL MIm LAm RE
It's hard but it's harder to ignore it
SOL SIm
If they were right, I'd agree,
DO LAm7
but it's them they know not me
SOL MIm RE SOL
now there's a way and I know that I have to go away.
RE DO SOL
I know I have to go
