Im Auftrag des Lichts

Father and Son

Music & Lyrics: Cat Stevens

G G G C (4x)

[VERSE 1]

G D

It’s not time to make a change,

C Am G

Just relax, take it easy, you’re still young

Em Am D

That’s your fault, there’s so much you have to know.

G D C Am

Find a girl, settle down, if you want you can marry.

G Em Am D

Look at me, I am old but I’m happy.

G D

I was once like you are now,

C Am

And I know that it’s not easy

G Em Am D

To be calm when you’ve found something going on,

G D

But take your time, think a lot,

C Am

Why, think of everything you’ve got

G Em

For you will still be here to – morrow

Am G

But your dreams may not.

[VERSE 2]

G D

How can I try to exp – lain,

C Am

’cause when I do he turns away again,

G Em C D

It’s always been the same, same old story.

G D C Am

From the moment I could talk I was ordered to listen,

G Em Am G

Now there’s a way and I know that I have to go away

D C G

I know, I have to go.

G G G C (2x)

 

-> guitar solo as per verse but without the words

 

G G G C (2x)

[VERSE 3]

G D

It’s not time to make a change,

C Am

Just sit down, take it slowly,

G Em

You’re still young, that’s your fault

Am D

There’s so much you have to go through.

G D C Am

Find a girl, settle down if you want you can marry.

G Em Am D

Look at me I am old but I’m happy.

G D

All the times that I’ve cried

C Am

Keeping all the things I knew inside,

G Em Am D

It’s hard, but it’s harder to ig – nore it.

G D

If they were right, I’d ag – ree,

C Am G

But it’s them they know not me, now there’s a way,

Em Am G D C G

And I know that I have to go away, I know I have to go.
