Intro:
One, two, three...
A
Meow
D
Get into character. Dead cat
verse 1:
A
Lookin' down from Heaven
D
I see my flat carcass -in front of 7-11
A
Wish I could say it was the first time
D
but I'm a cat -so in terms of lives she's had nine
A
The first time I died as I remember
D
I landed on my feet -but it was into a blender
A
Next life my fancy feast cans had somethin' in them
D
that really fancy thing -was botulism
A
Took life 3 easy nappin' on some jeans
D
the problem was the jeans -were in a washing machine
Bm
Don't feel sorry for me
E Stop
I've had nine times the life that you could ever dream
verse 2:
A
Life four
I became a pillow on pinterest
D
Life five
I died from sheer disinterest
A
Life six
Had the urge to feel lava on my whiskers
D
Life seven
Chased a bird into a wood chipper
A
Life eight
Donated my guts for tennis rackets
D Stop
but turns out they don't even use cat guts
can you put that in brackets -We'll add it in post
Bm
I hope this song wasn't a drag
E
I just had to let this cat
A Stop
out of the bag
Outro:
-Uh, well technically they're putting you in a bag
-What?
-Yeah I think that's like a sanitary worker
-Is that what they, do they...
-Yeah that's what they do for a living, they clean up.
-What makes you guys cat experts?
-Well this is cat heaven, welcome.
-We're dead cats
-We welcome other new arrivals... with a song
-Wow, you guys really put life on paws
