...SILENT SUNLIGHT... by Cat Stevens
---------------------...............
*from 'Catch Bull AT Four' (1972)*
*CAPO 5th FRET*
(Original Key: Bb)
Intro:
F C F C G Am,
      
Verse 1:
Si-lent sun-light; welcome in, there is work, I must now be-gin.
All my dreams have blown a-way, and the children wait to play.
They'll soon re-member, things to do,
When the heart is young, and the night is done and the sky is blue.
Interlude:
F C F C G Am,
      
Verse 2:
Mor-ning song-bird; sing away, lend a tune to a-nother day.
Bring your wings and, choose a roof; sing a song of love and truth.
We'll soon re-member if you do,
G Em D7 G F/G G7 C
When all things were tall, and our friends were small and the world was new!
Bridge: (Instrumental)
F C F C G Am,
      
B C B C, D G, D, G
F C F C G Am,
      
Verse 4:
Slee-py hor-ses; heave away, put your backs to the golden hay.
Don't ever look be-hind at, the work you've done;
For your work has just be-gun.
There'll be the evening, in the end,
But 'till that time ar-rives, you can rest your eyes and be-gin a-gain.
