Tuning: Standard, E A D G B E
Title: Father And Son
Artist: Cat Stevens
Author and Copyright: MississippiHans (arr.+tab.)
Time: 4/4, Tempo: Q=140. Beats on eights are marked '+'.
The chord names above the tab lines indicate the left-hand position. Use thumb-fretting. Let ring.
Note the syncopations, where the chord changes ahead of the new bar.
The change of octave between Father and Son is here emulated by a change of key: Son (key=C) vs. Faher (key=G)
This means certainly taking some freedom, but fits quite well with this kind of fingerstyle.
Chords: C9 = 032030, F9 = 103213, Am7 = 002010, D7 = 200212, D = 200232

[Father] (1x) ... as above, 1st pass ...
It's not time to make a change, just sit down and take it slowly
You're still young, that's your fault, there's so much you have to go through
Find a girl, settle down, if you want, you can marry
Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy
[Son] (2x)
All the times that I've cried, keeping all the things I knew inside
It's hard, but it's harder to ignore it
If they were right, I'd agree, but it's them they know, not me
Now there's a way, and I know that I have
|Son-Trailer]
to go away, I know I have to go
