oh very young chords
cat stevens *

A D
oh very young
E F#m D
what will you leave us this time
E E7 A D
you re only dancing on this earth for a short while
E
and though your dreams may toss and turn you now
A D A
they will vanish away like your Daddy s best jeans
D A D
denim blue fading up to the sky
A A7
and though you want them to last forever
D B7 E
you know they never will

you know they never will
E7 A
and the patches make the goodbye harder still

A D
oh very young
E F#m D
what will you leave us this time
E E7 A D
there ll never be a better chance to change your mind
E
and if you want this world to see a better day
A D A
will you carry the words of love with you
D A D
will you ride the great white bird into heaven
A A7
and though you want to last forever
D B7 E
you know you never will

you know you never will
E7 A
and the goodbye makes the journey harder still

A D
oh very young
E F#m D
what will you leave us this time
E E7 A D
you re only dancing on this earth for a short while
A D
oh very young
E F#m D
what will you leave us this time
