SWEEt SCarLEt by Cat Stevens CapO At 3rd FrEt


Verse 1
OFnce she came in-Bto my rF7oom, feaBmthered hat, and aBll,
WeaBmring a warm wool shBawl wrapped a-roFund her shoBuld-eFrs. BmTwo eyes like liBghts,
MBmilky marble whiBtes lookingCm7 up at Fme, loBmoking for a wBay,
MoBmons in an endless dBay. And aFll I knew was wBith her tF7hen,
No, couBmldn't see the tiBme,as we draBmnk down the wiBne to the laFst sweet sBcar-lFet



Verse 2

B F B B C B B#m
I was so un-guard-ed . Every bottle's empty now, and all those dreams are gone,

Verse 3
SFhe was so much youBnger tF7hen, wBmild like the wBind, a gBmypsy with a gBrin,
From an oFld far away cBoun-tFry, but dBmeep beneath her cuBrls,
Be-neBmath this misty peBarl, there was mFore to see.Cm  SBhe could move mountains
iFn the dark, as siG#mlent as a knCife, she G#mcut loose a lCife that she neBver,
No, neverF reaBlly wBant-ed. AllC those days areB frozen now, and all those scars

are gone, ah, but the song carries on so ho-ly

I G#mwant you so to kCnow ,there's no brBidge be-tFween Bus,
