Oh Very Young - Cat Stevens


D              E          F#m          D
Oh very young what will you leave us this time
 E           E7               A                      D
You're only dancing on this earth for a short while
        D                                      E
And while you're dreams may toss and turn you now
             A      D                  A
they will vanish away like your Dad's best jeans
   A         D     A          D
denim blue fading up to the sky
 D               A                  A7 (C#bass)
and though you want hime to last forever
         D      B    E
you know he never will, you know he never will,
   E                            E7 (G#bass)     A
and the patches make the good-bye harder still.

Oh very young what will you leave us this time
   E                         A                      D
there'll never be a better chance to change you're mind
  D                            E
and if you want this world to see a better day
            A            D     A   
will you carry the words of love with you
  A          D                A            D
will you ride the great white bird into heaven
  D             A              A7(C#bass)      
and though you want to last forever 
          D     B     E
you know you nev-er will, you know you never will,
 E                            E7(G#bass)     A
and the goodbyes make the jour-ney harder still.
