e finalmente para o violão como o conhecemos hoje.

A música que o Andre tocou é o Father and Son de Cat Stevens.

G                 D                C        Am7

It’s not time to make a change, just relax, take it easy

G                   Em

you’re still young, that’s your fault,

Am               D

there’s so much you have to know

G               D           C           Am7

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                   Bm             C                Am7

I was once like you are now, and I know that’s it’s not easy

G                Em            Am         D

to be calm when you’ve found something going on

G             Bm

But take your time, think a lot,

C                 Am7

think of everything you’ve got

G             Em

for you will still be here tomorrow,

D       G        C

but your dreams may not

G          Bm

How can I try to explain,

C            Am7

when I do he turns away again

G              Em               Am      D

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

G              Bm            C            Am7

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

G        Em               D        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               D                C          Am7

It’s not time to make a change, 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           Am7

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

Look at me, I am old, but I’m happy

 

(comment: Son)

 

G                  Bm

All the times that I’ve cried

C                Am7

keeping all the things I knew inside

G             Em           Am       D

It’s hard but it’s harder to ignore it

G          Bm

If they were right, I’d agree,

C               Am7

but it’s them they know not me

G          Em            D      G

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

D     C       G

I know I have to go
