                 A bad night by Cat Stevens (1967)

Intro
  E             A        A4 A
| /  /  /  /  | /  /  /   /  | 


Verse 1
E                    A   A4  A
   Ah, baby, you’re cool, 
E                            A                  A4 A
   And, even though you’ve never been to school,
E                  A
   I know you’re fine, 
B7
   But then you change your mind,

Then you start on drifting, & fall on behind,
E  E4          E   E4              
      You’ve been mine, 
  E   E4          E   E4    E
Been mine all of the time----


Verse 2
A   G                   A G
  | / / / / | / / / / | / / / / | / / / / |
 
   A    G            A   G         A   G      A     G   
A bad night, it’s gonna be a bad night,   I guaran-tee,
     E        D          A         G     A       G
To-night I’ll--- have a bad night,    I know I shall
            A             E             G
Ah, ‘cause you left me waiting in the corner,
        D                 A          E      G   D
And I know you’re never gonna come back for me,
       Bb                  C
And, though you said you loved me,
     Eb              E         A
And said you needed all of my love         
    
                                                                  
Verse 3                                            
   G                                        A   G  
A bad, bad, bad, bad, bad night, it’s gonna be,

        A    G        A   G          A   G     A     G
A bad night,   it’s gonna be a bad night,  I guaran-tee,
       E          D          A    G     A      G
A-to-night I’ll have a bad night,   I know I shall,
       A             E          G             D
Now, maybe if the weather was just a little better,    
     A               E           G   D                
It might not have happened that way,                  
 Bb             C          Eb           E             
When the situ-ation was getting pretty bad, bad       
A                                             A   G
  A bad, bad, bad, bad, bad night, it’s gonna be
