Sweet Scarlet Chords by Cat Stevens

[F] Well, she came into my room
[Gm] feathered hat [C] and all _ _
[Gm] wearing [C] warm old shawl [F] wrapped around
[C] her [F] shoulders
[Gm] two [C] eyes like lies
[Gm] _ Milky [C] marble wives
[F] Looking up with me _
[Gm] Looking [C] for a way _
[Gm] _ moves in an endless [C] day
[F] All I knew was a wither then [Gm] no couldn't see [C] the time
[Gm] As we drank down [C] the wine
[F] to the last
_ [C] sweet [F]
[G] starlet
How's [F] that to wonder why?
[Am] Or even [D] question this _
[Am] _ Underneath [D] her kiss.
Hey, I [G] was so
_ [F] _ [G] _
[C] Unguarded
Every bottles [D] empty now [G]
and all those [Em] dreams gone _ _
[Am] Ah, but the [D] song carries [Gm] on so
[C] _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ [Cm] _ _ [F]
[Gm] She's _ [C] _ _ _ _
[Gm] _ _ [C] _ _ _ [F] _
so [Cm] much younger than
[Gm]
wild [C] like the wind
[Gm] The gypsy with a [C] grin
from an [F] old faraway [C] [F] country
[Gm] the deep beneath [C] her curls
[Gm] Beneath this [C] misty pearl
There [F] was more to see
But [G] she could move [F] mountains in the dark [Am] a silent [D] as a knife
[Am] She cut loose [D] a lie
That she [G] never
Never really wanted
[C] All those [D] days are frozen now
[G] And all those [Em] scars are gone
_ [Am] Ah, but [D] the song carries [Gm] on _ [C] so
_ _ [Gm] _ [Bb] Come _
[Gm] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
[Eb] _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ [Bb] _
_ _ [Gm] _ _ [F] _ _
_ _ [Dm] _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _
[F] _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ [Dm] _ _ _
[Gm] _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
_ _ [F] let [Gm] _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ [Cm] _ _
[G] _ us [F] drink again
[Am] before the [D] second show [Am] I
Want you so to [D] know that [G] there's no bridge
_ Between us [C] all those gates [D] of old for now [G] and through the [Em] light has shone
[Am] _ But [D] the song [Gm] carries on [C] so
_ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ [F] _ _ _
