TROUBLE - Cat Stevens
 
[Verse 1]
G           D
Trouble, oh trouble set me free
Am     C                       Am                     C  [Riff 1]
I have seen your face and it's too much, too much for me
 G          D
Trouble, oh trouble can't you see
 Am               C                       Am                 C F  [Riff 2]
you're eating my heart away and there's nothing much left of me
 
[Chorus 1]
E A     G          D                G         D
 I've drunk your wine you have made your work mine
                Am                    C
so won't you be fair, so won't you be fair
E A              G       D                   G       D
I  don't want no more of you so won't you be kind to me
               Am                  C
just let me go where, I have to go there
 
[Verse 2]
G           D
Trouble, oh trouble move away
Am     C                       Am              C    [Riff 1]
I have seen your face and it's too much for me today
G           D
Trouble, oh trouble can't you see
Am       C                             Am             C     F [Riff 2]
You have made me a wreck now won't you leave me in my misery
 
[Chorus 2]
E A   G        D                  G       D
I've seen your eyes and I can see death's disguise
           Am             C
hangin' on me, hangin' on me
E A   G        D                  G         D
I'm beat, I'm torn shattered and tossed and worn
                 Am                    C
too shocking too see, too shocking too see
 
[Verse 3]
G           D
Trouble, oh trouble move from me
Am      C                         Am             C    [Riff 1]
I have paid my debt now won't you leave me in my misery
G           D
Trouble, oh trouble please be kind
Am       C                  Am                   C  [Riff 2]
I don't want no fight and I haven't got a lot of time

The David Huei one is pretty close. Cat Stevens plays it in F#. Play like it's in F with capo on 1st fret. Transpose by dropping all chords down one full step (i.e. G -> F, C -> Bb, etc.). First two chords at the beginning: F F x C (x2). One of my favorites!

I'm gonna take it a bit further with the capo up to the 4th Fret and then it all makes sense. The chords are now D A Em G then the little quick transition chords are Em C A B the hold the B into an E the D(drunk your) A(wine) D(your world) A(mine) so wont you be Em(fair) G(there) and so on and so forth...
