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
