The Cat With The Cream Tab por Belle And Sebastian

C
Sitting at the old kitchen table
                      Am
Peace and health and dreams

Stretching out in the darkness
                C
Mother's up the stairs with her aging new boyfriend
                Dm
Cathy's staying in to make sure nothing happens
                G
All aboard the freak parade
                F
I cover up my head and pray
                     C
I'm praying for the light


C
Down amongst the old city chambers
                Am
Men in frocks debate all the policy changes
          C
Everybody bet on the boom and got busted
          Dm
Everybody bet and in the government trusted
              G
Grubby little red MP
                F
Yellow flapping hopelessly


Chorus:
              Am
Tory like the cat with the cream
               E
Tory like the cat with the cream
                  Am
I studied you in history
                  C
I studied in the library
           Dm                     F
In days of old when knights were bold
                        Am                      C
They'd settle it with swords and shields
           Dm                     F
In days of old when knights were bold
                     C
It's settled by the king



C
Praying for a friend is contagious
                   Am
Especially when it comes at the old kitchen table
                   C
Listening for the swoosh of his quickening paces
                  Dm
Watching for the smile on the bravest of faces
                  G
How I wish you'd read to me
                F
Verses rich in swallows and trees
                      C
To get me though the night



C
Waiting at the old kitchen table
                  Am
Listening for my code, listening for my instructions
                C
Surely now I'm here, I am destined for greatness
                  Dm
I want to be the Queen pulling kids out of rivers
                G
All aboard the freak parade
                F
I cover up my head and pray
