…A BAD PENNY… by Cat Stevens
—————–……………
from 'Buddha And The Chocolate Box' (1974)
Verse 1:
Oh no, [G/F#]dont, [G/F]say those same idle lies;
I've heard them be-fore, [E+]oh, [Em/D]oh,
This fool who left his heart on an early train,
Wont buy no more.
Verse 2:
Oh no, [G/F#]dont, [G/F]use those same weeping eyes;
I'll wipe them no more, [E+]oh, [Em/D]oh,
I didnt want to have to be cruel,
But the truth must be said,
And you ain't heard e-nough.
Chorus 1:
Oh, it was not so long a-go,,
Since you wandered out of here.
To be-come a silver model of a city on the air.
So dont choke me with your lies,
Because this man has open eyes;
And I can see..[G/F#].
I can see, I can tell. Ooh, ooh, ooh.
Interlude:
D Bm7 Em G A A7,
Break:
I had it e-nough;
All those sneaky bars and smart parties.
Had E-nough;
All those sweet friends and lovers.
I've, I've had e-nough;
All those lonely rooms and blank faces.
Had E-nough;
And I want you, I want you, no more,
I want you, I want you, no more.
Interlude:
Verse 3:
Oh no, [G/F#]dont, [G/F]say those same idle lies;
I've heard them be-fore, [E+]oh, [Em/D]oh,
This fool who left his heart on an early train,
Wont buy no more.
