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


Verse 1:

   G   G/F#  G/F       E7        Am
Oh no, dont, say those same idle lies;
B7                  Em    E+  Em/D
 I've heard them be—fore, oh, oh,
C     B7       Em       G                 Asus4  A
 This fool who left his heart on an early train,
            D     B7  Em  D
Wont buy no more.

Verse 2:

   G   G/F#  G/F       E7           Am
Oh no, dont, use those same weeping eyes;
B7                 Em    E+  Em/D
 I'll wipe them no more, oh, oh,
C                B7         Em
 I didnt want to have to be cruel,
        G
But the truth must be said,
    Asus4     A       D     B7  Em  D
And you ain't heard e—nough.

Chorus 1:

           Am            C
Oh, it was not so long a—go,,
          Am              C
Since you wandered out of here.
      Em            D          Am          C
To be—come a silver model of a city on the air.
        A                  C
So dont choke me with your lies,
             Am           C
Because this man has open eyes;
          G    G/F#
And I can see...
G      E7         Am    G7   C
 I can see, I can tell. Ooh, ooh, ooh.

Bm     Em
 Had E—nough;

All those sweet friends and lovers.

           B     Em
I've, I've had e—nough;

All those lonely rooms and blank faces.
