SWEET SCARLET by Cat Stevens CAPO AT 3rd FRET
Verse 1
D C D7 Em A
Once she came in-to my room, feathered hat, and all,
Em A D A D Em A
Wearing a warm wool shawl wrapped a-round her should-ers. Two eyes like lights,
Em A Bm7 D Em A
Milky marble whites looking up at me, looking for a way,
Em A D C D7
Moons in an endless day. And all I knew was with her then,
Em A Em A D A D
No, couldn't see the time,as we drank down the wine to the last sweet scar-let
Verse 2
E D F#m B F#m B
How was I to wonder why, or even question this? Underneath her kiss,
E D E A B E C#m
I was so un-guard-ed . Every bottle's empty now, and all those dreams are gone,
F#m B Em A7 D C Em A Em A
Ah, but the song goes on so ho-ly
Verse 3
D C D7 Em A Em A
She was so much younger then, wild like the wind, a gypsy with a grin,
D A D Em A
From an old far away coun-try, but deep beneath her curls,
Em A D Bm E
Be-neath this misty pearl, there was more to see. She could move mountains
D F#m B F#m B E
in the dark, as silent as a knife, she cut loose a life that she never,
D E A B E
No, never really want-ed. All those days are frozen now, and all those scars
C#m F#m B Em A7 Em G
are gone, ah, but the song carries on so ho-ly
Verse 4
Em G C Bm Em D Bm F# F#7 Bm F# Bm Em Bm F# F#7 Bm
Em Bm F# B Em B7 E D F#m B
Come let us drink again, be-fore the second show,
F#m B E D E
I want you so to know ,there's no bridge be-tween us,
A B E C#m
All those gates have opened now, and through the light has shone,
F#m B Em A7 D C Em A Em A D
ah, but the song carries on so ho-ly
