A Bad Penny

...A BAD PENNY... by Cat Stevens

*from 'Buddha And The Chocolate Box' (1974)*

Intro:

Verse 1:

Oh, don't, say those same idle lies;

I-I've heard them be-fore, oh, oh,

This foo-ool who left his heart on an early train,

Wont buy no more.

Verse 2:

Oh no, don't, use those same weeping eyes;

I-I'll wipe them no more, oh, 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;

G G/f#

And I can see...

I can see, I can tell, oh oh, oh oh, mmm, mmm.

Interlude:

C B7, Em G, Asus4 A,

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, don't, say those same idle lies;

I-I've heard them be-fore, oh, oh,

This foo-ool who left his heart on an early train,

Wont buy no more.
