Oh Very Young - Cat Stevens (yusuf Islam) | Guitar Chords

[Intro]
---------------------
A

[Verse 1]
---------------------
             D                   E
Oh very young What will you leave
             F#m D E
us this time?
                      E/G#          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
Denim blue fading up to the sky
D               A                    A7/C#
 And though you want them to last forever
         D       B7
You know they never will
E
 You know they never will
                             E/G#       A
And the patches make the goodbye harder still
E A E A
       Oh very young

[Pre-Chorus]
---------------------
D                   E             F#m E
 What will you leave us this time?
                                 A
There'll never be a better chance to change your mind
D                              E
 And if you want this world to see a better day

[Chorus]
---------------------
            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/C#
And though you want to last forever  
         D      B7     E
You know you never will
You know you never will
                                         A
And the goodbye makes the journey harder still

 Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

A             D                   E
 Oh very young What will you leave

us this time?
                      E/G#          A                 D
You're only dancing on    this earth for a short while
Oh very young
              E             A
What will you leave us this time?
